The design approach centers on creating educational space functioning as both classroom and professional salon through intelligent spatial organization. Custom-designed stations serve as transformable teaching platforms converting quickly from lecture-facing configurations to practical workstations where students immediately apply theoretical concepts.
Strategic renovation incorporates professional-grade equipment including high-end pedicure station and full studio salon area. Spatial arrangement allows instructors to transition smoothly between teaching methods without disruptive reconfigurations, maintaining educational momentum and maximizing instructional time.
Materials and finishes mirror contemporary salon aesthetics while meeting durability requirements of an intensive educational environment. Preserved sightlines allow instructors to maintain visual connection with students during practical exercises while supporting independent skill development.
The transformed cosmetology lab significantly enhanced educational outcomes by dissolving artificial boundary between classroom learning and professional practice. Students now experience a seamless educational journey where theoretical concepts immediately inform hands-on skill development, creating deeper understanding and improved retention of essential techniques.
