Active Learning Cluster

Product Description

The Active Learning Cluster table is designed for today’s collaborative classrooms, giving universities flexible furniture that supports both SCALE-UP, TEAL and TILE teaching models. Available in round and triangle cluster designs, these tables maximize space while creating student-centered learning environments for higher education classrooms, labs, and libraries.

At the center, a Power & Data Ready core offers options such as power receptacles, USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and data connections. Built-in wire management and a removable access panel keep cords organized, while a low-profile hub and three-leg base maximize legroom and comfort to support longer collaboration sessions.

Grounded in research on active learning, these clusters encourage short hands-on tasks, peer discussion, and team problem-solving. Institutions using this model report improved conceptual mastery, stronger teamwork skills, higher engagement, and reduced failure rates in STEM courses—turning lecture rooms into collaborative learning spaces.
