10+ Genius Design Ideas That You'll Wish Your School Had

Whether you're in middle school, high school, university, or anything in between, it has never been a better time to be a student. Schools around the globe are embracing clever and practical new technologies and ideas in their buildings, all geared towards making life easier for students and teachers alike. And it's not all just for show, either - a 2012 study by the Miami-Dade Public School Board showed that modern school facilities actually contribute to the well-being and academic performance of students and that teachers working in a more technologically-advanced environment are more likely to keep their jobs. To illustrate this, the guys at Bored Panda have put together a list of some of the most creative and cool things people have installed at their schools. Which one is the coolest idea for you?
