Creating the right teaching environment
to inspire your students
The peninsula system
Science classroom lab furniture
The InterFocus peninsula style laboratory classroom creates a traditional style that is well suited to a classroom requiring heavy use of services such as gas and electrics. The fixed peninsula benching allows for plumbing and electrical services to be easily concealed around the classroom.
Peninsula design school lab layout
Peninsular style benching offers a practical and space-efficient solution for science classroom design, particularly suited to a variety of teaching environments. With benches extending outward from perimeter walls or central spines, this layout maximises floor space while still enabling collaborative learning. It allows pupils to work in pairs or small groups along the benches, encouraging communication and teamwork during practical investigations.
A big advantage of the peninsular system is that it provides large laboratory worktop areas and lots of scope to maximize storage and reduces to the costs of bringing services to the main workspaces.
Storage Options Include but are not limited to the following
- Tray storage | Single, Double and Triple
- Single and double cupboards
- Retort stand cupboards
- Bag stores
- Open fronted storage cupboards
The peninsular system works well with the iWall classroom storage solution
With the peninsular system provides a front of class teaching solution, this solution works well when interactive whiteboards are used in the classroom.
Our i-wall teaching wall furniture can easily be incorporated into the design and provide even more additional storage in what is traditionally a blank wall of limited use other than the interactive screen.
Providing large work surface areas and storage
From a teaching perspective, peninsular benching supports structured movement and effective supervision, enabling staff to circulate easily and provide targeted support where needed. Services such as gas, water, and electricity can be integrated efficiently into the benching layout, ensuring safe and convenient access for pupils. This design not only meets the functional demands of science teaching but also supports a calm and organised classroom environment, promoting both focus and safety during practical work.

I wanted to compliment your men for the work they did at the Lycee Francais School London. They worked fast and the benches are really well done
