Features of STEM furniture for schools
- Custom-built designs – Our furniture and storage are tailored to each school or institution and their curriculum needs. This ensures optimal use of space and full alignment with educational objectives.
- Flexibility & modularity – Modular layouts enable easy reconfiguration, allowing for adaptation as class sizes and teaching styles evolve or as research priorities shift. This makes it simple to scale, rearrange, or re-purpose spaces for STEM, science or engineering activities.
- Durability & safety – SB Labs’ products use high-quality materials (including chemical-resistant surfaces like Trespa Toplab Plus and stainless-steel sinks) to withstand heavy use. Safety is built-in, with designs that promote safe circulation and compliance with educational and laboratory standards.
- Integrated services – STEM furniture solutions incorporate accessible and user-friendly service provisions (gas, water, electrics) centrally or at workstations. This is vital for practical STEM tasks.
- Aesthetic & ergonomic value – Modern, attractive designs promote engagement and a positive institutional image. Solutions such as the SpaceStation and Saturn & Mercury workstations are designed for collaboration, inclusivity and accessibility.
- Turnkey offerings – SB Labs delivers a full package: consultation, design, bespoke manufacture, installation (fitted by expert teams) and aftercare. Additional services include support for funding bids, 2D/3D renderings and compliance documentation.
