4 We believe that together, we can make a real and lasting difference for our environment. Healthy spaces make a difference. Many modern students expect their campus to use sustainable practices. Carbon footprinting, recycling efforts, and other sustainability initiatives can impact enrollment decisions. Most Allsteel products are level certified (to the e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard), SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certified (for better air quality), can contribute toward LEED certification, and meet the Healthy Interiors Goal of the Healthier Hospitals Safer Chemicals Challenge, version 2.0. Many Allsteel products are designed for 24/7 use and all of our products feature a lifetime warranty. Whether you are actively pursuing LEED, WELL certification, or simply aligning their projects to the standards, Allsteel s product portfolio is here to help. All of our products contain recycled content in varying amounts, sometimes more than what is required by LEED. Our products are tested and certified for low indoor air emissions, which will contribute to a healthier indoor environment. A majority of our products are manufactured in Muscatine, IA. We can accommodate shipping by rail, which typically has fewer environmental impacts than shipping by truck. Free-address work areas with Allsteel s products can contribute to the WELL Building Standard. Unassigned workspaces help employees find a work space with a desired temperature to regulate their thermal comfort. Many of our products containing wood are available as FSC Certified at no extra cost. Allsteel s LED task lights are energy efficient and some are available with occupancy sensors that shut-off after 6 minutes of no activity. Allsteel s portfolio of fabrics and finishes can be used to select finishes that not only create a beautiful, inviting space, but also one that incorporates nature s patterns, boosting positive feelings and nurturing the humannature connection. We ve been working to make our products healthier by evaluating the chemicals included in our materials. We ve achieved Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze for several products, which contributes to both LEED and WELL certification. Allsteel offers products designed in accordance with BIFMA G and HFES guidelines, contributing to a more comfortable and ergonomic environment. Height-adjustable workstations are available, which can mitigate prolonged sitting and encourage movement. 6 7

5 Connecting people and place. Research suggests that more than half of students selecting an institution view its environment as important to their decision. Faculty are even more convinced that environment is one of the single most influential factors in learning. Allsteel works closely with public universities, private institutions, and community colleges to create environments that ensure the best possible academic, social, and community experience. For every place learning happens, Allsteel has ideas, layout considerations, and product solutions to help design a space that works best for your campus. 8 9

6 Common spaces should be flexible and inviting. Often, common areas serve as the hub for campus activity. From the dining center to the library, these spaces are used by multi-tasking students as a place to study, research, strategize, and collaborate. Allsteel s furniture solutions help everyone work together in a flexible environment, supporting connection and social interaction.

7 Classroom spaces are constantly evolving. Today s classroom is changing. To adapt, it s imperative the classroom transforms from lecture style to collaborative teamwork to presentation setup throughout the day. Allsteel offers furniture that is easy to move, store, and adapt to class size and purpose furniture that will support today, while staying flexible for the needs of tomorrow.

8 Admin spaces should be adaptable and comfortable. Administrative and faculty offices need to support privacy, learning, working, and socializing to create the ideal environment while maximizing space usage. Allsteel solutions provide layered surfaces that allow for piling, readily accessible storage, multi-purpose worksurfaces, and guest seating options that invite meetings and collaboration.
