A complete redesign to make students feel welcome...
Since its refurbishment, the library at Saint-Jean Secondary School in Limoges has been transformed into a vibrant, dynamic space. Guided by the vision of teachers Ms. Viaud and Ms. Raynaud, and with the support of WF Education, the layout of the library has been modernised to meet the many needs of students at the collège and lycée.
One of the highlights of the refurbishment was the emergence of two read and relax zones. A reading corner dedicated to secondary school pupils, with a carefully chosen selection of books to suit their preferences and reading levels. Another area offers a diverse and enriching collection for more advanced students.
A redesigned space to include dedicated zones
Since it's renovation, Secondary School students enjoy coming to their dedicated reading zone in the library. Thanks to our Everna™ solution, everyone finds the space welcoming!
"One pupil told us that the den was ideal for reading and relaxing because it isolated her from the noise".
"Our main requirements were relaxation areas for reading and modular shelving and we definietely got this with WF Education".
Mobile shelving has enabled the library to be reorganised quickly, meaning the space can factiliate different needs such as collaborative learning and educational courses. This flexibility has also opened the door to better use of space, maximising opportunities for learning and exchange.
Our Cantilibra™ shelving system allows for such flexibility.
"It's reassuring to know that I can move by shelves around as our space is used for a lot of different activities"
Every corner of the library has been designed with every user in mind. Mobile shelving allows for a flexible space, and every nook and cranny has been designed to accommodate a variety of activities: from browsing and reading to solo and group work sessions!
By combining a bright, welcoming look with practical space, the library at the Saint-Jean has become a place where comfort, functionality and conviviality come together, providing an ideal environment for pupils to learn and develop.
Claria™ seating
Our modular soft seating range, Claria™, has been designed to guarantee comfort while optimising the available space. The seats can be arranged and rearranged to suit the specific needs of the pupils. What's more, their mobility means they can be reconfigured quickly, offering great flexibility when it comes to arranging the space.
"The feedback we've had has been very positive: it's nicer, clearer and more functional than our old space".
