Trapezoid tables and chairs combined with lightweight stacking chairs are perfect for a workshop or makerspace. Small desks on wheels provide patrons with additional work surfaces and can be moved around the room to accommodate different layouts or programs.

Utilize a corner space for a semi-private meeting area for educational advising, one-on-one discussions or small group meetings. A central worktable and carpet tiles or an area rug add warmth to this space and aid in sound management. You can also use the walls in this space to prominently display EducationUSA information and materials.

Introduce trapezoid tables into the presentation space to host MOOCs or DVCs.

Rearrange modular lounge furniture and introduce mobile whiteboards to create an informal, yet collaborative space for groups to meet.

Incorporate color through high-resolution graphics and painted accents.Digital signage near the

Welcome patrons into your space with a dedicated information desk situated near the entrance to your space.

A large, central worktable, like this U.S. Map Table found on page 5.7–5.8, is perfect for seminar style programming that engages patrons in conversation, debate, or discussion.

Mobile partitions are a low cost, but effective way to divide neighboring programming areas from each other. Think about partitions that provide additional storage in your space, like mobile shelving units, partitions that double as writing surfaces, like mobile whiteboards, or even partitions made of glass, Plexiglas, or sound absorptive materials.

Flooring can be used as a visual cue for patrons to designate specific programming zones. For instance, use a combination of vinyl tile with carpet tiles or areas rugs to create a distinction between the combination presentation and informal lounge area with nearby areas.

Arrange lightweight stacking chairs into rows for lecture-style programming.

Use a combination of modular lounge furniture and tables and chairs to create a comfortable informal space where patrons can browse reading materials, independently use technology, have conversations, or wait for an upcoming program. Furniture can be rearranged to accommodate large or small groups or even one-on-one conversations.

An iPad or tablet bar lends itself to independent and short-term use of technology.

Built-in banquette seating allows for small conversations or independent reading areas and utilizes the perimeter of the room. Small tables can pull up to the benches and make a great spot for a laptop or tablet.

Formal tables and chairs can be pushed together for more organized programming or workshops.

Lounge furniture provides patrons with comfortable seating for informal programming and conversations that promote English language learning.

Built-in cabinets, shelving, and stationary countertops can be a great space to host makerspace programming and provide storage for maker equipment and technologies.

A painted floor or small raised platform at one end of the room creates a stage area and focal point for lecture-style programs in the space. Suspend a projector from the ceiling and use a projection screen or blank wall as a surface for presentations, demonstrations, or film screenings!

Take advantage of wall surfaces, even columns or pillars, to introduce vibrant imagery with high-resolution graphics or painted accent walls.

Use lightweight stacking chairs to host lecture-style programming.

Use formal tables and chairs in the makerspace area to host a maker workshop or showcase. Give your patrons plenty of work surfaces to work through ideas as a group or individually.

Add a few mobile partitions, like these mobile whiteboards, to creatively divide the makerspace from the other programming areas. Whiteboard partitions are great additions to a makerspace to provide patrons with writing surfaces to brainstorm, collaborate, and create.

Arrange comfortable lounge seating into a group around small tables to foster conversation-style programming.

Trapezoidal tables and lightweight stacking chairs can be easily reconfig-ured to support a variety of programs and learning styles. A few examples of these configurations include:

• Pushed together for small group work or collaboration

• Lined up in rows facing the front of the room for lecture style programming, DVCs, or MOOCs

• Arranged in a circle for a seminar or large group conversation

Suspend a projector from the ceiling and use a projection screen or a blank wall as a surface for DVCs, MOOCs, or a focal point for a lecture or lesson.

A whiteboard or chalkboard wall provides space for a facilitator to write out important points of a lesson or patrons to collaboratively work through ideas.

Mobile, locking storage can be used to store classroom materials or valuable pieces of technology, such as laptops. Choosing storage on wheels makes it easy to move supplies and equipment within the classroom or between classrooms for specialized lessons or programs.

Incorporate a high-resolution graphic (or two!) and painted accent walls, using the recommended color palette, to intro-duce color and energy into the space.

The projection surface can be used for lectures, demonstrations, DVCs, or as a way for your patrons to show off their new skills or video projects. Green screens are another fun addition to a makerspace to introduce patrons to photo and video editing.

An important note: When not in use for formal makerspace programming, the flexible furniture makes this a suitable space for a classroom, workshop, or a space to host other types of programming.

A glass wall or partition allows the sound gener-ated from maker activities and equipment to be contained, while allowing other patrons to view programming in progress.

Stationary or built-in countertops are perfect for larger pieces of technology, such as 3D printers and computer terminals loaded with software for maker programming.

Choose modern and lightweight furniture, allowing the room to be configured in a variety of arrangements that promote small group programs, as well as large group demonstrations or workshops. Trapezoidal tables, lightweight stacking chairs, and furniture on wheels give the space the look and feel of a modern workshop and promote ultimate flexibility in this space.

Storage, including drawers and locking cabinets, are great places to store materials for maker activities or expensive pieces of technology, like digital cameras or laptops.

Use one of our custom high-resolution graphics on an open wall. The Brain-storming Graphic is a great way to visually promote the space as one for inspiration, collaboration, and creativity.

A chalkboard or whiteboard instantly transforms a wall into a writing surface for brainstorming ideas or sketching prototypes.

“SO YOU...” Want an Informal Lounge Space

Approximately 40sqm

Comfortableandmodularfurnituremakethisspaceanideallocationtohostlessformalprogramming,suchasaconversationclub,orasspaceforpatronstoindependentlyusetechnology,waitforupcomingprogrammingoranadvisingappointment,orcontinueaconversationthatwasstartedduringanearlierprogram.

Use walls to display bright and colorful graphics or wall shelving for additional storage and display of reading materials or tablets.

A variety of comfortable seating options, including modular lounge seating, tables and chairs, and even ottomans, can be rearranged to accommodate small group or one-on-one conversations.

Mobile shelving, like the curved shelves here, double as room dividers while providing storage for books and other reading materials. Consider turning the shelves around to create a “conversation pod” or a space for independent reading.

Flooring helps define this space from the surrounding programming area and is a great way to introduce color into the lounge space. Carpet tiles aid in sound absorption to reduce echo and are easy to install and remove for cleaning or replacement.

“SO YOU...” Want a Semi-Private Meeting Space

Approximately 25sqm

Thismulti-functionalandsemi-privatespaceisidealforsmallgroupmeetingsorone-on-oneadvisingappointments.

A mobile partition instantly divides this space from a neighboring program, thus making the space semi-private without entirely closing it off.

Carpet tiles are a sound absorptive material intended to reduce echo, thus promoting small group meeting conversa-tion. They can be used to introduce color into the meeting space and are easy to install or remove for cleaning or replacement.

You may wish to use this area to display and distribute EducationUSA materials. Shelving can be simple and modest, but make sure signage is clear for your patrons.

Give meeting attendees space to write down ideas with a mobile whiteboard. The board can be easily moved around the room to accommodate a particular meeting.

A simple table and comfortable chairs are conducive for small group or one-on-one meetings or advising sessions.

Small adjustable height bistro tables and sleek stool and bench seating can be used for daytime or evening programming and events. During the day, patrons can utilize the tables for casual conversations or to independently use technology, like a laptop or tablet. During an evening reception, the same tables can be used for patrons to gather around with food and drink.Use a neutral wall color

so as not to detract from the artwork.

Install art railing on the walls to instantly transform this space into a gallery to host local artists or showcase patrons’ work. The art railing makes it very easy to install and de-install artwork for a new show or competition.

Lightweight stacking chairs can be used for lecture-style programming in this space. When the chairs are not in use, they can be stacked for easy storage.

Suspend a projector from the ceiling and use a screen or a blank wall as a projection surface for lectures or film screenings.

Simple bench seating in the center of the room serves as a spot for patrons to gather for casual conversations and makes this space feel like a traditional gallery. Adjustable height bistro tables with sleek stool seating along the wall provide patrons with alternative seating options in this space.

During a reception, move the bistro tables away from the walls to transform the space into a vibrant atmosphere conducive for conversation.

Formal tables and chairs, as well as ottomans that are intended to withstand the elements, provide patrons with a variety of seating options. These outdoor chairs stack to allow for easy storage when not in use.

A canopy shields this space from sun and rain to maximize programming potential.

Big, Bold, and Beautiful! Size matters, and these graphics are intended to be big and bold! Filling the wall with large-scale images can have a huge impact and transform the space.

Plays well with others. The graphics were designed as a group to work together in your space. Mix and match images to create a graphic gallery wall!

Extra space? One word: Color. When applying your graphics, you might have some extra space left over between the images in your layout. Use paint stripes in a compatible color to finish up the wall and make it look great.

Leave it to the professionals. It’s always best to work with a local printer to produce the graphics you’ve chosen for your space. Keep in mind that materials vary by country so working with a local printer will provide you the most useful advice on which materials and adhesives will work best in your space. Sample materials include: vinyl, Perspex, and low-texture canvas.

Color Test. Printed colors can vary based on the type of material you choose. Ask your local printer to show you material samples and request samples of small printed segments of the graphics you’ve selected so you can ensure that colors are correct before printing is finalized.

Where to go. Download the graphics via the Smithsonian page of the American Spaces website: https://americanspaces.state.gov/smithsonian/graphics
