Inviting Outdoor Furniture

In the last few years, campuses are utilizing outdoor areas more effectively than in the past. Empty spaces between buildings are being transformed into outdoor study pods, dining areas, plazas, and social areas. Furnishing these outdoor campus areas is often as simple as installing a concrete patio and adding furniture. Outdoor gathering areas are highly sought after by Gen Z college students, so adding more to your campus will aide in recruiting as well as student well-being.
