How is everyone's doing? Hope you guys had a great holiday plannings as the season is near as always. For me, it had been a tedious months as I was having seminars and business trips. I'd just came back from Copenhagen, Denmark for an energy management seminar and it was a great eye opener.
The country is beautiful and the people there are friendly. The best part was that I'd visited their library, The Royal Library. I understand from the locals that the "black building" is called Black Diamond. Nice name for a great structure. I was wondering if we have any smart library or study area just like smart building? Hmm..
What Is A Smart Study Room?
When it comes to getting work done, nothing matters more than having the right space to do it. Having a study room that speaks to your thoughts and gets your cogs turning is great for helping you work better, faster, and stronger. So, whether you’re off at college, a corporate raider, or in your first apartment, a smart study room can get you thinking and doing a lot more.
The concept of the “smart rooms,” which were formerly called equipment group study rooms, were implemented as a place for small groups of people to meet up and work on projects. The rooms are originally each equipped with a PC, a Mac, a television and a lectern (an overhead projector-like device), which are meant to provide the users with various means to finish their work. Additionally, both the Mac mini and PC use a wireless mouse and keyboard for ease of use throughout the entire study room.
The smart study rooms also use smart technology to ensure that there is no trespassing in the study group rooms, by use of a wireless key card lock. The locks on the smart study rooms are innovative since they require less construction due to the card readers being wireless.
How To Make One?
There are many ideas to make a smart study room, but the most important is that it suits your environment type. People say that a quiet place filled with serenity is the best for innovation to take place. I couldn't agree more. Here are a few ideas that we can use for a smart study room.
Explorer Of The Mind - Does thinking about all of the possibilities in the world spark your creative mind? Perfect because one of our study room ideas uses a map (or maps, if you prefer more) to get you pondering everywhere that life could take you – if you focus up and complete your current studies. Best if those maps are in digital display.
The Window To The Mind - Nothing like a nice, big window for natural light to get you stewing on your studies. You could choose to face the window for a relaxing view or put your back to it, like in this study, to enjoy the natural light warming your entire room.
The Artful Office - Who doesn’t love a pretty picture every time they look up? Art of a style of your choosing can be placed up on your study room’s walls to keep you inspired every time you glance upwards away from your projects. Creativity is never further away than a tilt of the head – as long as you aren’t the easily distracted sort.
Is It Worth The Money?
There are a lot of ideas of how to make a smart study rooms, but all these come with a price. There are some low end and high end for this infrastructure. The decision still lies on the consumer's thinking of whether it's worthy or not.
