SURFACES THAT INSPIRE A LIFETIME OF LEARNING
Create vibrant, durable environments that nurture creativity, collaboration, and community.
Schools are more than places to learn — they’re the heart of a community. From early childhood centers to universities, every space should inspire curiosity and connection. Wilsonart offers a comprehensive portfolio of engineered surfaces designed to perform beautifully across classrooms, labs, cafeterias, and social zones. With unmatched durability, easy maintenance, and design versatility, our materials help schools make smart, lasting investments that inspire generations of learners.
Designed for Education Environments
Every learning environment deserves materials that perform as hard as students do. Wilsonart surfaces balance beauty, durability, and sustainability — supporting frequent cleaning, high-impact use, and evolving design trends. From seamless lab counters to collaborative media zones, we offer the flexibility to design spaces that are both inspiring and resilient.

Wilsonart is engineered with purpose — creating high-performance materials that help schools meet environmental goals. Many products feature post-consumer recycled content, contributing to healthier, longer-lasting spaces for the next generation of learners.
Inspiring a Lifetime of Learning
Surfaces that are engaging, enduring, and easy to maintain will be of the utmost importance to schools looking to make wise long-term investments for their future.
But fitting 21st century learning into 20th century buildings remains a fundamental challenge. Since the average age of a public school is 44 years, there is a strong market need to modernize schools to support today's ongoing evolution in teaching.
And according to research conducted by the World Economic Forum, the demand for "human" skills—including active learning and analytical thinking—is growing fast.
Which is why education facilities that thrive will be designed to inspire students in a way that enables collaboration, ideation, creativity and critical thinking.
