How Lokhandwala Foundation School Upgraded 48 Classrooms with Whiteboard Wall Solutions

At a Glance

About Lokhandwala Foundation School

Located in Kandivali East, Mumbai, Lokhandwala Foundation School is an established coeducational school with approximately 2,100 students. The school is recognized for combining modern educational methods with technology-driven learning environments to encourage collaboration, creativity, and hands-on learning experiences.

As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation, the school partnered with Smarter Surfaces to modernize its classrooms with interactive whiteboard and projection wall solutions.

Although based in Mumbai, the school worked with Smarter Surfaces through our international team, which supports education projects worldwide.

Classroom Challenges

Before the project, Lokhandwala Township School used traditional blackboards across its classrooms. While these provided a familiar surface for writing, they did not allow teachers to project digital content directly onto the teaching surface.

The school therefore needed an alternative that would make better use of classroom walls and allow teachers to switch easily between writing and projected content. The goal was to replace the blackboards with a durable and innovative surface which would provide them with different uses without adding separate boards or screens.

Defining the Vision

Working alongside Lokhandwala Construction, the school approached Smarter Surfaces to identify a classroom wall solution that would:

Replace blackboards across 48 classrooms
Combine writable and projection capabilities on one surface
Improve teacher flexibility during lessons
Create more engaging learning environments
Deliver a durable solution suitable for everyday classroom use

Before committing to a full installation, the school requested product samples to evaluate different smart classroom solutions and ensure the best fit for its teaching requirements.

The Smarter Surfaces Solution

Following product trials and technical consultations, Smarter Surfaces recommended Projector Whiteboard Wallpaper as the ideal solution for Lokhandwala Foundation School's classrooms.

Chosen for its dual functionality, Projector Whiteboard Wallpaper transforms walls into interactive classroom surfaces that support both dry-erase writing and high-quality projection. Its low-sheen finish delivers clear, glare-free presentations while providing a durable, stain-resistant writing surface for everyday classroom use.

By replacing traditional blackboards with a single multifunctional wall surface, it was easy to eliminate the need for separate whiteboards and any projector screen in classroom. It created cleaner, more flexible learning environments that support modern teaching methods.

Implementation Process

The project began with several online consultations between Lokhandwala Construction, the school, and Smarter Surfaces' education advisors.
During these sessions, the team discussed:

classroom teaching requirements
suitable products for different spaces
installation methods
long-term maintenance
best practices for achieving optimal performance

Following a series of consultations, the installation was carried out, with ongoing technical guidance to ensure a smooth implementation across the school.

The Transformation

The classroom transformation delivered significant improvements for both teachers and students.

Interactive Teaching

Teachers can now seamlessly switch between writing notes and projecting digital content on the same surface, creating more engaging lessons.

Glare-Free Projection

The low-sheen finish provides a clear projection surface while remaining fully writable, making classrooms suitable for presentations, videos, and collaborative activities.

Cleaner Learning Spaces

Removing bulky blackboards created cleaner, more modern classrooms while maximizing available teaching space.

Durable Performance

The stain-resistant surface erases cleanly after repeated daily use, helping classrooms maintain a professional appearance over time.

Better Student Engagement

The combination of interactive writing and multimedia teaching has enhanced teacher-student interaction and created a more immersive learning experience.

Expanding the Success

The successful classroom upgrades strengthened Lokhandwala Construction's confidence in Smarter Surfaces solutions, leading to a larger follow-up order.

Building on the positive results, the school later expanded the project by upgrading all 48 classrooms in phases over three to four months, further extending its interactive learning environments.
