Innovative School Tours
What is an Innovative School Tour?
NanaWall Systems is partnering with school districts across the country to host tours for superintendents, school administrators, and architects featuring 21st Century and Future Ready learning environments. Participants interact with students and teachers and see the learning environments that support self-directed and collaborative learners.
Whether you're a superintendent eager to embrace innovative learning environments, or an architect seeking to revolutionize school design, NanaWall Innovative School Tours provide invaluable insights and inspiration.
NanaWall systems provide 21st Century schools with transformative flexibility, space optimization, and biophilic benefits, enabling ideal academic spaces for dynamic learning and collaboration.

We appreciated hearing about the process and how the space is being used currently with the actual educators that helped in planning and designing the school.
— Architect from Centerview Elementary Tour, April 2024
The ability to see and hear from the learners and teachers working in such dynamic environments is great, but getting the ability to connect with them after the tour is invaluable as we look forward to new construction in our district.
— School Administrator from Lubbock-Cooper ISD Tour, February 2024
Seeing students at work in such a positive environment is something you must experience. Students love their school and with the flexible classrooms, furniture, daylight as well as having independence to work in various areas surrounding the classrooms is a tour like no other.
