John Kilbourne, professor of movement science, was recognized by
Steelcase for researching activity permissible classroom spaces and
introducing the furniture maker’s innovative desk/chair to his students.
Kilbourne agreed to use Steelcase's "node" chair in
his classroom. The node has wheels and is designed for quick, easy
transitions between a lecture-based classroom and a collaborative
setting. Kilbourne said his students enjoyed the ease quickly moving
their desks together to work on projects.

of the Steelcase Node Chair Design & Research Team.
Several years ago, Kilbourne began researching the use of
exercise balls as seating in his classroom.
