The Brief
Octavia School approached BT Office Furniture to help transform its classroom spaces with a more practical and considered approach to storage and teaching facilities.
The school wanted to make better use of the available wall space while creating a more organised environment for both teachers and pupils.
A key part of the brief was to develop a classroom storage wall that could incorporate essential storage alongside a dedicated teaching area. This included teacher storage, an integrated TV and whiteboards.
The aim was to create a classroom that felt organised, functional and purposefully designed around modern teaching requirements.
About UsTransforming the Classroom Space
Classrooms need to accommodate a wide range of resources, from books and teaching materials to technology and everyday equipment.
For Octavia School, BT Office Furniture identified an opportunity to make better use of the available wall space by bringing these different requirements together within a single, integrated solution.
Instead of filling the room with separate storage units and teaching equipment, the classroom storage wall provides a central area for organisation and teaching.
Office Wall StorageThe BT Office Furniture Solution
Working closely with Octavia School, BT Office Furniture developed a classroom storage and teaching solution tailored to the individual requirements of each room. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we considered how each classroom would be used and the different storage, teaching and technology requirements within the space. This allowed us to create a cohesive installation that incorporated classroom storage, teacher storage, TVs and whiteboards, while ensuring each room had the functionality needed for its specific teaching environment.

Office FurnitureCreating a Dedicated Teaching Wall
A key feature of the project was the creation of a dedicated teaching wall.
The front of a classroom is an important part of the learning environment. It needs to provide teachers with the tools they require while giving pupils a clear focal point during lessons.
At Octavia School, the teaching wall incorporates both digital and traditional teaching facilities.
An integrated TV provides a dedicated area for displaying digital content, presentations and visual resources, while the whiteboards provide a flexible space for writing, explaining and demonstrating during lessons.
Bournemouth & Poole College Case StudyThe Transformation
The completed installation has created a more organised and purposeful classroom environment for Octavia School.
By integrating classroom storage, teacher storage, technology and whiteboards, BT Office Furniture helped the school make better use of its available space while creating a dedicated area for teaching.
The result is a classroom that feels cleaner, more organised and easier to use, with essential teaching resources and equipment brought together in one central location.
Our Design ServicesWhy Choose Integrated Classroom Storage?
For schools considering new classroom furniture, a storage wall can provide several benefits:
Maximise Available Space – Using wall space efficiently can increase storage capacity without taking valuable floor space away from pupils. A dedicated storage area gives teaching resources a clear and consistent home.
Integrate Technology – TVs, interactive screens and other classroom technology can be incorporated into the overall design.
Make Classrooms More Flexible – Combining several functions into one solution can make the classroom easier to adapt to different teaching activities.
