Best Practices in Learning Space Design: Engaging Users
SCUP staffer Phyllis Grummon contributed this article to the most recent issue of EDUCAUSE Quarterly, which issue is entirely devoted to "Learning Spaces." Key takeways from Grummons article:
- Engaging those who will use a learning space in its planning yields the greatest benefits, yet the people who manage a space usually determine its design.
- Formal and informal surveys of space use provide data that inform design according to the location and intended purpose of a specific space.
- Survey results from the Society for College and University Planning and Herman Miller showed that respondents believe users should be key drivers in learning space design.
