Classroom Overcrowding: A Space Saving Solution

Cafeteria to Physical Education Space

The Solution

We repeatedly hear from our education customers that one of the issues they face is how to better use their facility space when they face overcrowding. We created this image to demonstrate to our customers on how using a Screenflex Room Divider can help them better use their space. We’ve identified that cafeteria workers only serve food to students for a small period of time throughout the day. During the remainder of the school day, this space remains unused. This example needed a way to divide the space and prevent classroom overcrowding.

An opened Screenflex Standard Room Divider separates cafeteria tables and open areas to create a new classroom space to be used for physical education, reading instruction, tutoring, or physical therapy. The fabric walls dampen noise to create an ideal learning environment. This feature is especially important in a loud group setting such as a cafeteria. Tack, staple, or pin instructional items onto the schoolroom dividers to enhance the education experience. The panels also remain in good shape after the tacked items come down as well. These dividers rest on casters that can adjust to any floor surface. The end casters also lock in place for excellent sturdiness. There are always tactics to adjust your space. Portable room dividers are the best way to adapt your available space to prevent classroom overcrowding.
