The world of work—and play—demands more use of technology
every day. And people are getting more sedentary because of it.
Sitters who use a chair that’s good for the body by reducing the
risk of cardiovascular disease can improve their health as well as
their cognitive performance.

Sitting is Bad for you. Meet Embody, the first chair that is Good for You.

People + Pedagogy + Place = Possibilities

People. People are always our first consideration. Who are the key stakeholders? What are the human needs of students and faculty? What do they need as faculty and learners? What stimulates intellectual and social growth? How can a spirit of life-long learning  be created and nurtured?

Pedagogy. As the traditional, instructor-led lecture makes way for more collaborative and engaging forms of learning, there’s a growing recognition that campuses must support multiple teaching and learning styles–that learning spaces must become what teachers and students need them to be.

Place. Learning should be enriched by the places where it occurs, wherever they may be. The most effective learning spaces are adaptable, social, healthful, sustainable, resourceful, and stimulating.

Possibilities. Higher education makes life’s possibilities real. It points the way to a better world. The environments that support it, and its mission, make a difference–to students, teachers, leaders, alumni, and the community.
