Education is evolving, and so are the spaces where learning happens. Traditional classrooms with static layouts are advancing into more dynamic environments built around project-based learning. These spaces emphasize collaboration, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving, empowering students to take a more active role in their education. But to truly support this shift, the physical infrastructure must be just as innovative as the curriculum.
At FSR, we understand the nuances of designing for modern learning. Our infrastructure solutions are built to meet the needs of educators, students, and integrators, making classrooms more flexible, more functional, and more future-ready.
What Makes a Great Project-Based Learning Space?
At the core of any successful project-based learning environment is flexibility. Unlike traditional classrooms with fixed layouts, project-based learning spaces are constantly in motion, desks shift, students form new teams, and activities evolve by the hour. To support this, the infrastructure must be equally adaptable.
These spaces also need to be well-connected. Power and data access shouldn't be confined to walls or corners. Instead, it should be easily accessible throughout the room to support technology integration wherever it’s needed.
Just as important is maintaining an uncluttered environment. With students moving, building, and collaborating, safety and organization are essential. That means keeping cables out of the way and AV equipment properly housed and hidden when not in use.
Lastly, a great project-based learning space must be interactive. Students and instructors benefit from intuitive access to controls, displays, and collaboration tools that support the learning process without slowing it down or requiring technical assistance.
Smart-Way Raceway System
The Smart-Way Raceway System is designed to fit today’s evolving learning and working environments. It’s more than just a raceway, it’s a thoughtfully engineered solution that prioritizes usability without compromising on design or visual appeal.
Whether your project-based learning space features vinyl, carpet, wood, tile, or laminate flooring, Smart-Way adapts effortlessly. The system can be configured on top of the floor or in-floor using the provided edging, giving you installation flexibility to match any room’s layout or finish. Smart-Way reshapes how power and data are delivered, routing cables neatly across the floor or seamlessly down the wall with the optional wall raceway kit. Its adaptability make it an ideal choice for project-based learning environments, where furniture and technology frequently shift to support active, hands-on collaboration.
CB-22+ Ceiling Box
Modern classrooms rely on more AV than ever, and it needs to be housed somewhere safe, discreet, and serviceable. The CB-22+ ceiling box gives integrators the perfect compact solution for mounting AV gear overhead. Whether it's powering projectors, housing switchers, or managing cables, the CB-22+ keeps everything organized and accessible, without cluttering the walls or workspaces below.
Its sleek design fits seamlessly into standard ceiling grids, providing easy access when maintenance is needed, while preserving a clean, polished classroom look. For rooms using ceiling-mounted tech, the CB-22+ is a smart and reliable foundation.
Surface Mount Touchscreen Wall Covers
Instructors need immediate, reliable access to classroom controls, and wall-mounted touchscreens are often the solution of choice. FSR’s surface mount touchscreen wall covers provide a low profile housing that protects and frames those interfaces beautifully, without cutting deep into the wall. These covers are ideal for mounting control panels, tablets, or touchscreen displays. They have a minimalist design, give educators and students control over the screen’s functions, and have a locking feature for security purposes.
See It All at InfoComm 2025
We’re bringing our vision for modern learning spaces to life at InfoComm 2025. Visit booth #3243 from June 11th-June 13th to explore a dedicated project-based learning space setup featuring the Smart-Way Raceway, CB-22+ ceiling box, and our surface-mount touchscreen wall covers in action.
Whether you're designing for K-12, higher ed, or training facilities, FSR’s solutions are designed to solve and built to integrate, making it easier to create learning environments that are as forward-thinking as the students they serve. Let’s build the future of learning, together.
