Replicating their future employment space is crucial. However, upon scouting for new workplace systems for your setting it can be easy to pick systems that sit at the cheaper end of the market. Afterall, you’ve potentially got a big space with lots of students to serve. But therein lies the catch: you’ve got a lot of students. And if you’re going to get the most out of your equipment for every person, you have to invest in the best.

Here are a few reasons why durable equipment benefits educational settings and their student community.

Students receive realistic training

Real work spaces in the engineering field are likely to use the best equipment available to them. As such, you need to reflect this level of professionalism in their learning environment. Investing in durable storage equipment gives students a more realistic training experience that closely simulates real-world engineering challenges. Prioritise hands-on experience working with complex machines, tools, storage solutions and systems like custom workbenches to prepare them for their future careers.

Maximise your workspace

Never underestimate longevity. Especially when a consistent provision of equipment for your education and training spaces is non-negotiable. When you invest in your classroom equipment, it’ll last longer, face less damage and faults, and will ultimately withstand semester after semester of use. This is true for all students - whether it’s an engineering undergraduate training for their career, or for much younger school students as part of an experience day.

Durable workspaces for students facilitate safety

Student safety is of the utmost importance when you’re responsible for their welfare. When you choose a durable solution, you’ll benefit from extra safety features that alternative solutions may not have. This means that students are less likely to come into harm. And considering the tools and processes used in STEM, this is a necessity. For example, an engineering student may be working with potentially hazardous machinery and equipment, so safety features could prevent casualty.

The investment saves you money in the long term

While a durable solution may cost a fraction more upfront, the financial benefits will be evident. You’re far less likely to need to replace your equipment when it can withstand everyday use in a classroom setup, day after day. Overall, engineering programs can save thousands on purchasing new equipment and maintaining the existing kit over time.

You are championing professional development

Working with durable equipment can help engineering students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills that are highly valued in the engineering profession. By gaining hands-on experience with advanced equipment, students can better understand the complexities of engineering projects and develop the skills necessary to succeed in their careers. Once more, setting them up for a successful future.
