Teachers College is the oldest and largest graduate school of education in the United States. Teachers College alumni and faculty have held prominent positions in academia, government, music, non-profit, healthcare, and social science research just to name a few.

Teachers College hired King Rose to lead a campus-wide classroom modernization program that set a national benchmark for best-in-practice multi-modal classrooms at a premier institution. King Rose transformed the school’s heritage classroom portfolio into a leading next generation active-learning platform. Working in collaboration with the architects, engineers and the College, the team created refreshed multi-modal learning environments featuring 360-degree writable wall surfaces, flexible furnishings, robust media resources, and biophilic design features. Designed to maximize interaction and cognitive performance and support overall wellness, the nationally best-in-practice classrooms are rooted in educational space design and behavioral research. The new classrooms also permit a significant portion of faculty to employ active-learning methods and clearly deliver improved and learning outcomes.
