Designing A Multi-Use School Hall

Space in schools is always in high demand, and budgets are often stretched to their limits. While building an extension might seem like the best way to create more room, the reality is that for most schools, it is simply not financially feasible. Instead of expanding, why not make better use of the space you already have? Multi-use school halls can provide extra room for learning, activities and events at a fraction of the cost of a new build.

The key to making this work is flexibility. Traditional dining furniture can be bulky and difficult to move, which limits how a space can be used. But with furniture designed for easy folding and storage, staff can quickly and effortlessly transform the room. Westcountry Group’s Versa range of mobile folding tables can be packed away in minutes, clearing the space for assemblies, sports, exam space and more.

Wall Pocket

The Wall Pocket is one of our most popular pieces of dining furniture innovation. These space-saving lunch tables and benches fold neatly against the wall or into alcoves when not in use, keeping the floor completely clear without the need for additional storage. Designed for ease of use, you can transform your school hall from one purpose to another within minutes, making transitions between lunchtimes and other activities much smoother.

Benchmark

The Benchmark is a sturdy, practical dining solution for space-conscious schools. Each unit has built-in benches, so there are no individual chairs to arrange. The table folds smoothly in one motion and can be wheeled away on its built-in castors, making it easy to clear the space when needed. When stored, its compact folded size takes up minimal room.

Hallmark

The Hallmark is a great choice for schools that need to seat large groups of students while keeping setup and storage manageable. With each unit capable of seating up to 16 students, fewer tables are needed, helping to free up space and simplify transitions between uses. The Lift Assist System allows staff to fold and move the tables safely and with minimal effort, making it easier to clear the hall without the strain of handling heavy furniture.

ConverTables

The ConverTables are not just for lunchtimes. In one simple movement, each unit can switch from a full-sized dining table to a single-sided lecture table or a bench with back support, making it a versatile addition to any multi-use school hall. Whether the space needs to be set up for meals, assemblies, exams or performances, the ConverTables adapt quickly without the need for extra furniture.
