Stevens’ Casework & Millwork for School Classrooms, Administration Areas – No Project Is Too Small

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

Stevens has introduced a number of school furniture strategies to answer the question of obtaining quality laboratory casework (or general classroom cabinets, art room storage, library furniture, etc.) when the project is not very large.  Stevens’ intent is to serve a marketplace that is typically ignored in comparison to large new school building/renovation projects.

When you have a large school construction project, your options are almost boundless as companies emerge (even if they are not educational furniture companies) to sell you laboratory casework, library furniture and general classroom cabinetry.  But what happens when the project is small?  Minor?  Meaning, the institution is not adding a new wing, but simply renovating a school room, creating a lab space within a general classroom…Who do you call to assist you with the planning for that kind of project?  What manufacturer provides high quality furniture, superior service and has local representation to advise on furniture selection?

Stevens (with Longo as their dealer in New England) has created a number of product lines to assist schools with their classroom furniture needs.  Stevens created the ID System Catalog for those seeking a few laboratory cabinets, some library shelving, a couple of art room studio storage cabinets.

School purchasing officials/business managers interested in learning how Longo can outfit their current classroom requirements should call (508) 635-4354 and request a consultation.

Architects & interior designers interested in receiving an updated general casework and/or laboratory equipment binders should call our office phone number (508-635-4354).  They may also email their contact information to the marketing department at Longo (info@longoinc.com).  All inquiries for catalogs/binders are answered in a 24-48 hour period.

Please direct all inquiries with regards to laboratory planning, furniture and construction projects to the marketing department at Longo (info@longoinc.com).  To request a consultant & laboratory space evaluation, email Nat Longo (nlongo@longoinc.com).

Purnell School’s New Science Laboratories

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Project:  Purnell School, Learn about Purnell School

Original Post:  New Facilities Offer Latest Technologies, September 20, 2010

Newly redesigned Science Center opened in time for the 2010-2011 school year. An innovative and versatile design by DiCara-Rubino Architects helps Purnell’s Science Center lead the way for 21st century teaching and learning, with a fully equipped engineering design lab, and state-of-the-art chemistry and biology labs, that even include adjustable-height tables so students can perform labs and take class notes without changing locations.

Longo recently completed science lab renovations at Purnell School – I thought it was interesting the thinking behind the donation from James S. McDonnell:

The gift, part of the McDonnell Family Fund for the Research and Advancement of Neuro-Developmental Instruction at Purnell School, came about as the McDonnell family reflected on what made Purnell such a significant learning experience for their daughter. “Teachers and students develop genuine relationships which inform teaching and learning at Purnell,” said McDonnell, “it is a comprehensive program that involves all faculty and a curriculum which engages every student in self-discovery, helping girls leverage confidence and awareness to build on their successes.” That’s why supporting the redesign of the science lab became a significant draw for McDonnell. “The focus on real world problem solving and cooperative effort in a science classroom is great training for all sorts of jobs and for life generally,” added McDonnell.
