Thinker cell in the room-in-room principle as a self-sufficient room element

room-in-room for students...

The Jade University in Wilhelmshaven has implemented an innovative concept with the room-in-room system vetroCUBE. So-called thinker cells were installed in a former lecture room. As room-in-room units, these offer students suitable retreat spaces for concentrated work in small groups.

Space in space as an alternative to structural measures...

In a very short time and reversible at any time, 5 new group work rooms were created. The room-in-room system vetroCUBE from woodtec offered itself as a cost-effective and quick alternative to construction services. The room in room system includes all the necessary components such as ventilation, light, energy and data supply as integral parts of the system. The room in room concept reduces the coordination of interfaces and the associated logistics to a minimum.

The students of the Department of Management, Information, Technology (MIT) at Jade University can now work in the thinker cells. The new workplaces for the students are in the west building at the Wilhelmshaven study location.

The room-in-room units are separated from each other by glass walls and sound-absorbing elements. Can be used as individual rooms and could be dismantled and reused elsewhere if necessary. Each thinker's cell has space for several students for discussion sessions. A conference table, an iMac and a Windows computer and a large screen were integrated. Thanks to the good acoustics of the room-in-room system, the groups can work completely undisturbed by each other. Decisions are made with closed doors. Sliding doors were chosen here. These offer sufficient acoustic insulation with the lowest spatial requirements.

The integrated ventilation of the thinker cells is monitored and regulated by a CO2 control. This control module constantly measures the CO2 load in the room and accordingly regulates the speed of the fan and thus the volume flow in the thinker cell. The equipment of the room in room system also impresses the students. The atmosphere is also good, you can definitely concentrate here, the working groups confirm.
