Our dealer partners have successfully performed and supported Kinetic GPO members for years and were helping these same institutions prior to our Kinetic GPO partnership.

Additionally, our dealers reside in the markets they serve and have a full understanding on how to perform under local guidelines and regulations that may vary from province to province or even end user type to end user type.

Designing a Better Learning Experience

The global pandemic has fundamentally changed how we live, learn and work. Students and educators have new needs and expectations, requiring shifts in the way we think about buildings and learning spaces. It’s time to move forward and use what we’ve learned to make learning better.

We have created four different learning spaces, Classroom + Commons, Student Hub, Learning Commons and Active Learning Classrooms to help build connections between students and faculty while encouraging impromptu teaching.
