is committed to SERVE. CREATE. INSPIRE.

At Fōmcore we believe in creating spaces which foster collaborative, fun, and creative room environments. No matter the setting, we are driven to help you think through and create a space that serves and inspires.

Designed with young learners in mind is the heart of the Fōmcore’s Lotus Jr. Series. Let creativity, adaptability, safety, and imagination flourish alongside collaborative learning. Solid foam construction and fully zippered (no wood base) pieces allow for easy movement and endless amounts of learning fun!

DRAMATIC PLAY

Kid's love to pretend, whether they're a superhero or a villain, playing is important for early childhood development. Encourage dramatic play by providing the tools they need to engage their imagination!

SENSORY

Preschoolers use their hands to explore. Sensory play, which includes touching, pouring, pinching, and sorting, allows children to develop their fine motor skills, along with entertaining them!

STEM

Did you know that preschool STEM activities can have an impact on children's academic outcomes down the road? STEM activities keep young kids curious, focused, and engaged!

STORAGE

From dress-up costumes and toys to art supplies and books, make sure to have plenty of storage in your spaces.

From the time preschool learners arrive until they leave for the day, this room design encourages exploration, play, and cooperative learning. There's ample storage for coats and backpacks, and easy-access areas for literacy, science, and creative activities throughout the school day.

With distinct learning and activity areas, this space makes it easy for children to move naturally from one learning or play activity to the next. Whether it's the entire class, a small group, or individuals, each has a place in this room design.

LET SPACE ACTIVATE LEARNING

KINDERGARTEN - SECOND GRADE

Furnish the room with multiple seating options so students can sit, stand, lounge, kneel, or plop down on the floor during the day. Movement via posture and location releases energy and optimizes focus.

THIRD - FIFTH GRADE

Encourage students to move desks into multiple configurations to support project, individual, lecture, discussion, or free-form activities.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Elevate student tables and seating to encourage alternating sit, stand and perch postures during the day to increase activity levels, student engagement and ultimately academic performance, while supporting multiple activities.

HIGH SCHOOL

Pull small groups into alternative learning modes by rolling flip-and-nest tables into lecture rows or against the wall to create chair-based discussion circles.

DESKS & TABLES

Strive for shapes that are flexible and reconfigurable. A simple 20-inch x 27-inch rectangle offers a lot of flexibility. It can go in rows, pairs, or groups of four nicely. Or, look for desktops that taper from back to front, approximating a piece of pie, like Smith System’s Diamond Desks. When gathered, the diamond-shaped work surfaces allow a tight circle formation that encourages participation (and eye contact) by all students in the group. These collaborative learning desks can also be arranged in circles of six, semi-circles of three, pairs, rows, or separated for individual work or testing.

ACTIVE SEATING

Some kids just gotta keep moving! Their muscles crave activity, making it difficult for them to sit still for long periods of time or focus on seated activities. Because active seating lets kids move and adjust themselves in a non-disruptive way, they burn off excess energy and get the stimulus their muscles are looking for, making them more attentive in class.

THINK ABOUT mixing in active seating with standard seating to offer students alternatives. Let them share!

Providing students with nontraditional spaces, outside of the standard classroom structure, leads them to view learning as a continual, ongoing process versus one that is solely reserved for the classroom.

ENTER ACTIVE EDUCATIONAL SPACE

Inspiring spaces can lead students to innovation and collaboration in and out of the classroom. Furniture within these educational spaces must support evolving approaches to learning.

MEDIA CENTER

TRANSFORMATION OF THE MEDIA CENTER

Today’s (and tomorrow’s) media space can be so many things. It is an extension of the classroom. It is a classroom, a commons, a maker space, a display space, a quiet reading or study space, a noisy collaboration space and so much more. Make sure to integrate multiple types of seating and tables, consider lower bookshelves to open up the space, and don't forget to keep your furnishing mobile for quick reconfiguring!

A LITTLE BIT OF THIS. A LITTLE BIT OF THAT.

A LOT OF POTENTIAL.

Traditional libraries at all levels of education have been given a makeover into multipurpose rooms where students have places to socialize, work independently, read books, create content, research online, hold a meeting, or have a class that harnesses technology in a STEAM or maker space curriculum. These spaces are where information, technology, and more traditional resources collide. They meet the different demands of students and teachers with both flexible and task-specific furniture situated throughout the spaces.

SEATING

Our library landscapes aren’t necessarily the ‘quiet zones’ they used to be as the need for collaboration and group work extends outside of the classroom. ERG’s Tommy Activity Seating collection is here to help give students a means to let out extra energy, while staying engaged and on task! Partnered here with the Drake mobile marker board for an option to “take notes” without the traditional notepad. Need to have some students team up and work online together for awhile? Look no further than the Aspen Series to create the perfect technology huddle space!

RELAX. REFRESH. SOCIALIZE. WORK.

The transformation of the school cafeteria from a “place to eat your lunch” to a “cool place to hang out” has made it a “place to be”. The restaurant feel of many of these new spaces makes students want to hang out a little longer. The cafeteria-commons provides a comfortable, relaxed, quiet space for social interaction, study or just a place to unplug. It is also frequently employed as an extension of the classroom. Users of your space will need to be able to arrange and customize the space to meet their immediate needs. Flexibility and mobility are key ingredients of a multi-use facility.

WHAT space DOES your staff NEED to be productive?

While the administrators tend to prefer private offices, they also frequently interact with students, and fellow staff members. Adding space-efficient guest seating in small offices is often required. If more floor space is available, a table, chairs and TV screen offer another level of support for meetings and collaboration.

Beyond the private office, a faculty lounge provides a communal space to take a break, hold a meeting or enjoy a social gathering. Informal lounge seating combined with café height tables and stools creates a relaxed, congenial atmosphere.

Provide staff with the right workspace and tools to help facilitate day-to-day productivity and increase job satisfaction. Modify office designs to address space and task requirements. Let's make the most of your available office space by designing around window ledges, heating vents, doorways, and columns.

CLEAN AIR MATTERS

Classrooms and lecture halls are essential areas for virus protection where students might not be able to properly social distance, and conversation is key to learning. Air purification helps remove these concerns around student and staff safety, while also benefiting lungs by eliminating allergens and odors.

IT DOESN'T STOP AT VIRUSES

Indoor air is 5X dirtier than outdoor air.

The average person inhales 3,000 gallons of indoor air every day. Most people spend 90% of their time indoors and nine hours per day in shared environments — spaces that are up to five times more polluted than outdoors. Proper ventilation combined with purified air is the best way to reduce the presence of these contaminants.
