1) Provide a varied learning environment
Consider outdoor benches and tables to give students the opportunity to learn outdoors. Think about providing social spaces as well as quiet rest areas, where students can choose to network easily with others, or work on their own.
2) Keep it smart and litter free
This is essential to maintain your image. Good quality furniture and easy-to-empty litter bins help to keep your outdoor areas smart and free from litter.
3) Radiate quality
Match the quality of your outdoors with the quality of your organisation. This is especially important when attracting new students and talent, as first impressions make a positive impact.
4) Provide for technology
Here’s a question: how do you incorporate technology into your outdoor space? As an innovative outdoor furniture specialist we’re on the lookout for products that will benefit our clients. Check out the smart soofa bench or alternatively, consider some outdoor power supply points to make charging easy.
5) Signpost well
Don’t let new talent get lost in your grounds. Consider if you have adequate signage in your grounds to make getting around easy for your students. Woodberry love the range that Harris Signs offers for Universities and Colleges.
