Grab a pen and paper—it’s time for a pop quiz. Ready? Ok, what’s adaptable yet accommodating, organized yet flexible, mobile yet coordinated, tech-centric and sturdy?
Here’s a clue: it’s also the ultimate conduit for classroom collaboration and cohesion.
Know the answer? It’s The Hon Company’s first-of-its-kind SmartLink™ Mobile Teacher Workstation. Unveiled today in Hon’s NeoCon 2008 Education Market showroom—designed by the renowned Rod Vickroy of SmithGroup Chicago to replicate an actual classroom—the SmartLink Mobile Teacher’s Station provides unparalleled flexibility in any classroom.
“As its name suggests, SmartLink is a holistic solution,” said Jim Cahill, HON’s vice president of systems and education. “The fact that it’s mobile allows teachers to easily reconfigure any classroom to facilitate interactive learning or to better support their own teaching style.”
The innovative design of this durable, adaptable piece of furniture offers ample work and storage space that can accommodate multiple teaching styles, classroom layouts and technology needs. As a mobile station, it can be easily repositioned within the classroom. As a desk, it can organize and manage teaching materials, equipment and technology. Its steel side panels provide a home for files, books and magazines while promising to weather classroom chaos, and its increased knee space and ergonomic user edge maximize teacher comfort.
When used in tandem with the SmartLink student desks, wall-rail system and modular storage solution, the teacher’s station offers the best utilization of classroom space while providing the ultimate in productivity.
