Case Study

Williston Northampton School USA


Williston Northampton School is a private, coeducational, college-preparatory school located in Easthampton, Massachusetts. It serves students from 7th through 12th grade and offers both day and boarding programs.

With a long history dating back to its founding in 1841, Williston focuses on preparing students for university through innovative programmes and a supportive community that encourages exploration and creativity.

In 2022, the school’s science labs in the Scott Hall building underwent a significant renovation, transforming them into modern learning spaces. This transformation was driven by a vision to develop flexible, collaborative learning environments where students can engage in hands-on STEM education.

The project features six updated science classrooms, two prep rooms, and a storage room, showcasing furniture solutions manufactured by S+B UK and installed by S+B USA.

The mobile STEMLine  workstations on castors allow for easy reconfiguration of how the space is used, supporting group projects and interactions between students.

The SpaceSaver teaching walls with built-in whiteboards and screens enhance functionality, keeping the learning spaces clutter-free while ensuring that everything is within reach. The installation of an Ecoline fume cupboard provides students with a comprehensive and safe lab experience.
