# The Four Corners of Harmonious Classroom Design
“To slow time down, practice enjoying the moment. It is where we spend our entire lives.” This wisdom from the I Ching describes an ideal way to live by slowing down. In the digital age, however, it’s getting more and more difficult to take this sage advice. Because of the pandemic, we are even more devoted to time spent on our devices, staring at screens with fast-paced minds. Among students, this trend has had some negative consequences. Adolescents and young adults (known as Gen Z) are [struggling with mental health](https://www.aecf.org/blog/generation-z-and-mental-health) more than previous generations. When students return to school this fall, it will be important to consider their mental, physical, and emotional health. But educators, parents, and school designers would be remiss to discount the benefits of considering students’ spiritual development when creating spaces and schedules for student health. This doesn’t mean subscribing to a certain system of belief. It can be as simple as integrating space for silence, breathing, and reflection.

# Technology and the Renaissance of Education
A new era of education may be coming for American teachers and students. With [ESSER funding](https://go.moorecoinc.com/resources/8-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-esser-funds) now available for schools across the country, each institution and district will assess what is to help students succeed in a post-pandemic world. Unfortunately, learning loss caused by the pandemic may have a ripple effect that lasts years. McKinsey & Company put out [findings](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/public-and-social-sector/our-insights/covid-19-and-learning-loss-disparities-grow-and-students-need-help) that state that learning loss from the pandemic disproportionately affects students of color. In order to even the playing field and create equity among students, the learning gap must be closed.

# What the 2021 Winter Storm Revealed About Texans
When 4th Grade Teacher Elizabeth Smith of Austin's power went out late Sunday night, she didn't imagine she'd be spending the next 5 days freezing in her home with her family. But a [polar vortex](https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/topsy-turvy-polar-vortex-brought-record-freeze-texas-rcna290)brought a cozy Valentine's Day to a grinding halt, affecting families all over the middle and southern areas of the United States. Although Texas bore the brunt of the worst due to power and water loss, the state is now working to regain its footing after a year of a pandemic and now a natural disaster with deadly consequences.

# How Air Quality Monitors Create Safer Environments
"Breathe easy" is a phrase we used to rely on to remind each other to relax and take a moment of peace. But few of us have been "breathing easy" since COVID-19 came to the U.S. one year ago. Since that time, we've been carefully isolating, keeping our distance from others, and wearing face coverings to prevent the spread of the deadly virus. Even as [Americans are getting vaccinated](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/map-covid-19-vaccination-tracker-across-u-s-n1252085), it's more important than ever to slow the spread of COVID-19 until we've reached [herd immunity](https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/12/15/946714505/fauci-predicts-u-s-could-see-signs-of-herd-immunity-by-late-march-or-early-april). But there may be an additional piece to the prevention puzzle that will help schools and business get back to breathing easier sooner.

# Accessing Mobility in a Remote World
Do you sometimes feel like the past year has been a blur? As we come up upon a year of dealing with COVID-19 in the United States, the days can begin to mix together. This "Groundhog’s Day" feeling has been lasting over 10 months now, and even as life begins to return to normal, it may still seem as if progress is slow. At the same time, the world continues to move quickly. Kids are still learning. Companies are still hiring, producing, and flourishing. Some days, it can be challenging to remain productive and hopeful. So how can you gain access to a feeling of movement and change in a world dominated by distance? Here are just a few ways to get moving again.

At the end of 2020, MooreCo published a list of lessons we'd learned from the year — things we believed would matter going forward. Looking back from 2026, most of those instincts were right. But the framing was narrow: we were writing about surviving a crisis, not about what the crisis had revealed.

The classroom is in the middle of its most significant design evolution in decades. The combination of post-pandemic instructional realities, a deepening research base on how environment affects learning, and five years of school administrators observing what actually works has produced a design direction that's more evidence-based, more student-centered, and more holistic than anything that came before it.

In April 2020, when schools across the country had been closed for weeks and no one knew when they would reopen, MooreCo published a list of predictions about what classrooms would look like when students came back. Five years later, those predictions have been tested against reality — and the results are instructive.

Walk into any well-designed classroom, office, or healthcare facility today and you'll notice something: the space itself seems to *work*. Furniture moves. Light is considered. Zones invite different kinds of activity. These are not accidents — they are the result of design informed by how humans grow, learn, and interact at every stage of life.
