We’re often asked: what exactly is a Learning Commons? It’s a multipurpose learning space that encompasses elements of a library in that it’s rich in resources (books and digital access) but also has spaces for collaborative working, independent study and socialising (some schools include a café space). It’s a very flexible space where all types of learning can take place – both as individual learners and as groups. https://lnkd.in/ediKbEJA #acoustic #OfficeEssentials #workspace #pods #wellbeing #schools #design #space

How do you encourage students to take up STEM subjects? One option is taking STEM out of scary labs where tinkering is actively (and understandably) discouraged and into agile spaces where students can experiment and collaborate. Desborough College is one school that did just that. https://lnkd.in/e7bcUUpy #acoustic #OfficeEssentials #workspace #pods #wellbeing #schools #design #space

Did you know that by changing the layout of your classroom, you’re priming the brain for learning? Rather than slipping into autopilot, you switch into learning mode to navigate a ‘new’ space.

When refurbishing learning spaces, choosing colours can be really tricky. We’ve produced a few resources to help including this article: Six ways to get colours right in learning spaces. https://lnkd.in/ei_giZCd #acoustic #OfficeEssentials #workspace #pods #wellbeing #schools #design #space

Creating clearly defined zones in work or learning spaces is crucial to their success. It’s also really important to accommodate people’s needs: some people need a place for a quiet moment, others need spaces where they can be loud and busy. To meet these very different needs requires zones and a bit of design thinking.

If you’re redecorating your classrooms, you might want to look at our Insights section on the learning effect of colours. It explains how colours affect people differently (particularly the neurodiverse), the cultural context of different colours and what colours may be best suited to different learning tasks. https://lnkd.in/ei_giZCd #acoustic #OfficeEssentials #workspace #pods #wellbeing #schools #design #space

Writing and scribing strengthens neuronal pathways and helps lay down knowledge in the long term memory. If your learners work primarily on ipads or laptops, integrating writable surfaces into classrooms could help – this is particularly true of neurodivergent children who benefit from having a physical element to learning. https://lnkd.in/dn_eSK8q #acoustic #OfficeEssentials #workspace #pods #wellbeing #schools #design #space

Is learning an untapped source of marginal gains in sport? When we redesigned GB Hockey’s training facility it sparked some interest from other elite sports organisations. Here’s how sports can benefit from collegial, agile coaching spaces that harness neuroscience for performance gains. https://lnkd.in/ew2JEaNc #acoustic #OfficeEssentials #workspace #pods #wellbeing #schools #design #space

If you’re redesigning or refurbishing a learning space, the first question you have to ask is: “What do I want students to be able to DO in the space?”. Work quietly? Work together? Socialise? Discuss and debate? Present to their peers? Your answers will help shape the form of the room and therefore what furniture and equipment you need.
