How firm’s visuals are helping unlock classroom success

MX Display has reported an uptick in requests from the education sector to create inspiring and informative wall art to help engage young learners.

The Derby-based large format print, graphic and signage firm has said it has been approached by an increasing number of schools and universities for customised wall and printed floor graphics, which can brighten up dull classrooms and dark corridors, as well as helping to boost learning performances.

Recent studies have found a clear and significant link between classroom design and learning performances.

They suggest that school design and layout can positively impact academic achievements in pupils by 25%.

In addition, it is believed that environmental graphics aid retention far better than reading or being told the information.

David Lister, sales director at MX Display, said: “We walk around so many schools with bare walls, painted breeze blocks or cracking plaster and it makes us more determined to transform the space and add colour to engage their students.

“There are lots of off-the-shelf products, but they don’t last. They also don’t promote the school’s values and they’re not designed for the space.

“With a little creatively, we can make the information come to life. We can add the ‘wow’ factor.”

To date, MX Display has delivered high calibre print for schools, colleges, and universities across the UK, including the University of Derby.

David said: “We like making blank corridors, stairs, windows and walls a learning space.

“Informative wall art for schools is a great way to brighten up dull classrooms and drab offices.

“Our wall graphics can be designed to suit your school layout and budget and can be a cost-effective way to change the look of a school environment.”
