Why This Course Matters
While flexible spaces are increasingly essential in modern design practice, they do come with unique considerations and challenges. Our continuing education course provides a practical, real-world framework for overcoming these obstacles while prioritizing sustainable design, safety, occupant well-being, and more.
Participants will gain valuable insight into the top five challenges of flexible spaces:
- Acoustical Performance
Achieving true sound separation is one of the most significant concerns when designing adaptable environments. We’ll examine strategies to enhance acoustic control, ensuring privacy and usability without compromising design intent. - Structural Deflection
Movable wall systems must account for building movement and shifting loads. Our course explores design and installation considerations that ensure long-term functionality and durability. - Optimizing Usable Space
Space efficiency is critical, especially in dense urban projects. We’ll showcase examples of how Skyfold’s vertical solutions maximize square footage and create seamless transitions between open and private environments. - Life Safety
Safety and compliance remain at the forefront of every project. This module reviews codes, fire ratings, and operational safeguards that protect building occupants while supporting flexible use. - Health & Wellness Post-Pandemic
The pandemic reshaped expectations for interior environments. We’ll discuss how flexible space design can support well-being through improved air circulation, touch-free technology, and adaptable layouts that accommodate evolving needs.
