Collaboration Tables

Enhance Teamwork with Collaboration Tables

Collaboration is key to success in today’s educational and work environments . As college libraries evolve to meet the needs of students, the demand for furniture that supports collaborative study patterns has surged. Collaboration tables are designed to foster productive connections, whether it be in the office, school, lobby, or any public space. Collaboration tables facilitate group study sessions, various learning activities and even casual conversations!

What are the features of useful Collaboration Tables for your school, library or office?

1. SPACIOUS SURFACES

Collaboration tables are specifically designed to encourage group interaction. Their spacious surfaces allow students to easily share resources, discuss ideas, and work together on projects. A large surface area provides ample space for multiple individuals to spread out their personal materials, such as laptops, notebooks, and other tools, without encroaching on each other’s work areas. With more room in the center of collaboration tables to lay out shared documents, sketches, or blueprints, everyone can easily view and discuss the materials at hand.

2. ACCESS TO POWER

Useful Collaboration Tables and Bars provide power access for all users at their fingertips. Since laptops are a standard collaboration tool, power integration is key to any successful working environment. Tables with built-in power outlets and USB ports support digital learning tools and workplace activities. Sitting next to, and across from each other, students and coworkers can share work with each other on their laptops, and never lose charge.

3. DURABILITY

College libraries are high-traffic areas, and furniture in these spaces must withstand constant use. Durable Collaboration Tables are built from quality materials designed to last.

At AGATI, we’re very particular about our wood Collaboration Tables. We use quality wood that can withstand heavy usage and frequent moving. Wood’s natural grain patterns and warm tones add warmth and a welcoming environment. Additionally, wood can be finished in various ways to match different interior design themes. Lastly, wood tables promote environmental sustainability. Choosing wood as a material supports the use of renewable resources, reducing our environmental footprint.

4. LONGEVITY

Investing in high-quality Collaboration Tables means less frequent replacements and repairs, saving your institution money in the long run. Building tables for colleges for forty years, we’ve learned a lot about how to make them last. One thing we’ve learned over the decades, is that the furniture gets moved. If it’s built to last, the furniture even moves to different buildings. We engineer our tables to withstand not only heavy daily use, but also frequent rearrangement.

Our Adapt Tables come in a range of sizes and shapes to support different working and learning styles.

5. MULTIFUNCTIONAL

Multifunctional tables transform a table into a Collaboration Hub! Multifunctional Collaboration Tables come equipped with power/data options, seating for various group sizes, and a curved tabletop.

One computer monitor serves as a central display for e-learning, sharing digital content, collaborating on presentations, etc. Multiple laptops can also be connected to this multi-functional table.

Many college libraries are using our Elements Media Station in both open spaces and in closed study rooms, because it provides everything students need for teamwork and interactive learning.

For example, the customized Manifest Collaboration Table pictured fosters effective collaboration for pairs. The shape allows partners to have their own distinct space while also angled in a way that they can interact together.
