Something Special - The Innovative “Learning Stair”

Commercial Stair Railing Systems

Learning stairs, sometimes referred to as social stairs or terraced stairs, aren’t a recent innovation, but they’ve experienced a resurgence in recent years. Similar types of stairs can be seen in the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome, and they provided a place for people to come together to learn, discuss, and connect.

Today’s learning stairs serve people in many different locations, including schools and universities, corporate headquarters, and co-working spaces. Though stairs are most often used to travel between floors, creating learning stairs can make the stairs a design element in their own right.

Railings that facilitate an open feel can help to encourage the open flow of ideas and enhance the collaboration that takes place in these areas and turn stairs into a multi-functional space. In a commercial space, learning stairs offer the opportunity for a hang out zone, relaxation area, and collaboration space.
