2002 NeoCon Gold Award	Supportive, sustainable I.Q.® classroom furniture combines the creative insights of internationally renowned designer Richard Holbrook with Virco’s half-century tradition of manufacturing excellence. Important ergonomic benefits, durable construction, environmentally responsibile design and lasting value enabled I.Q. to earn a 2002 Best of NeoCon® Award at America's most prestigious contract furniture trade show. All I.Q. chairs and chair desks feature a gentle lumbar curve to more effectively support the lower back. In addition, the concave shape of the I.Q. seat more fully conforms to the human body’s natural contours. With a waterfall front that’s easier on your legs and an extra-wide design that accommodates a wider range of movement in the chair – a particularly important point when it comes to irrepressibly active younger students – I.Q. delivers sustained seating comfort.
The I.Q. student desk unites the ergonomic advantages of a 22" to 30" top height adjustment range with a strong tubular steel frame, a durable high-pressure laminate work surface over a plywood core and uncommonly attractive styling. A classic open-front book box provides easily-accessed storage space. Environmentally sustainable I.Q. products feature polypropylene chair shells, tubular steel frames and plywood work surfaces. When components constructed of these sturdy, long-lasting materials are ultimately withdrawn from service, they can readily be reprocessed by schools that participate in Virco's Take-Back Program. With 12 versatile models, the I.Q. Series offers a great selection of ergonomically supportive furniture solutions for any level of education. Currently, the I.Q. line includes three 4-leg chairs with 13", 15-1/2" and 17-1/2" seat heights; a sled-based combo unit with a 17 1/2" seat height; a space-saving tablet arm chair; two mobile chair models with pneumatic seat height adjustment; a mobile, adjustable-height lab stool; three sled-based chairs with 13" and 15-1/2" and 17-1/2" seat heights; and a popular open-front student desk. Taken together, this diverse array of furniture enables the I.Q. line to excel in any learning venue: from colleges and universities to K-12 environments and day care settings. And thanks to Holbrook’s design expertise, I.Q. allows you to easily outfit a campus, or a district, with furniture that combines the Virco standard of durability with distinctive design integrity and important ergonomic elements.
