Announcing 2018 Active Learning Center Grant Recipients
Steelcase Education has a passion for understanding how learning takes place and how smarter, active learning spaces can help. In the past three years, 56 Active Learning Center Grants have been awarded to schools, colleges and universities in North America.
Annually, up to 16 grants are awarded to classrooms for grades 6 – 12 or within a college or university, located in the United States, U.S. Territories, Puerto Rico, Canada or Mexico. The grant provides one active learning classroom, including furniture, design review, installation, onsite training and the Learning Environment Evaluation measurement tool. Grant recipients choose from four types of classrooms designed for up to 30 students, valued at $67,000.
