We love these! What a great innovation to help children with self-regulation without being shamed and made to leave the classroom - which is often the case! https://twitter.com/nookpod/status/1556926373603819520

Hmmm, stair spaces can be super inefficient. Mindful of fire regulations, i think we could make more use of them. People naturally wander there looking for quiet call space. https://twitter.com/nookpod/status/1554745052617969665
Most buildings have those awkward spaces where you’re not quite sure what to do with them. With a little help, those empty areas can be turned into a useful meeting area.
All those nooks and crannies are perfect for, well, Nooks.
Every time I go to the library it again blows my mind that you can get books, *for free*, and read them in these beautiful old buildings. Such an unequivocal public good likely wouldn't happen if proposed today.
