Operable Walls for Universities
& Higher Education

Universities and higher education institutions demand versatile spaces that can serve multiple functions throughout the academic year. Lecture theatres that divide into seminar rooms, conference facilities that expand or contract for different events, and training spaces that adapt to changing course requirements — all are made possible with ModernGlide operable wall systems.

Higher education buildings often host events, conferences and public lectures alongside regular teaching activities. Operable wall systems allow a single large space to be transformed into multiple smaller rooms at short notice, maximising the use of expensive building space. Our systems are available with high acoustic ratings to ensure that simultaneous events do not interfere with each other.

University buildings face particular challenges in balancing the need for large lecture spaces with smaller seminar and tutorial rooms. Movable wall systems provide the flexibility to use the same building footprint for both purposes, reducing the need for additional construction and maximising return on capital investment.
