Learning Looks Different at Every Stage
Primary Education: Making First Impressions Count
Young learners thrive in colorful, welcoming spaces that spark curiosity and foster creativity.
At Lenexa Hills Elementary School, Lumicor’s vibrant resin panels were used to create visual interest while helping define different zones. The result? A fun, functional space where students feel excited to explore.

At Drayton Mills Elementary, the design team leaned into texture and translucency to deliver playful yet practical features. Our panels helped define common areas while letting natural light pour through, supporting the school’s goal of creating a healthy, engaging atmosphere.
Our resin panels provide durable surfaces that can withstand daily wear and tear while contributing to an uplifting atmosphere for both students and teachers.
High School: Balancing Style with Substance
As students grow, so do their spaces. High schools serve as dynamic hubs for learning, collaboration, and personal development. Designing for this age group means creating spaces that are more refined, yet still able to stand up to heavy daily use.
At Saint Francis High School, our Fin Ceiling Features added a bold architectural element. Our Fin Ceiling Features are modular, making it easy to fit spaces large and small.

Glendale High School used Lumicor resin panels in their railings throughout the school and common areas, adding a layer of polish without sacrificing durability. These are spaces that look elevated while still being tough enough to handle backpacks, sports gear, and the occasional hallway dance-off.
Higher Ed: Spaces That Do More
Universities and colleges demand sophisticated and resilient design solutions that support diverse academic and social activities. Lecture halls, labs, lounges, and dining areas all need to serve multiple functions. At Kennesaw State University, designers used our materials for ceiling features and partitions to help define spaces within large open areas, while still allowing light to pass through. These design features provide a vibrant, yet cohesive atmosphere that makes it easy for students to gather, collaborate, and focus.
At Western Michigan University, our Cafe Tables turned a simple dining space into a stylish hub for connection. Lumicor resin was chosen as an ecologically friendly material, helping the building reach LEED silver specification. Sunflower, from the Luminous collection, is a perfect match to WMU Gold and used to create partitions, soffits, tabletops and an entryway feature wall. The seamless integration of Lumicor materials brought in warmth and texture, elevating the overall aesthetic without disrupting flow or function.
