1. Imagining New Learning Spaces Workshop at the 2015 Student as Producer Conference

2. Introductions Estates and Commercial Facilities  Sam Williams – Head of Strategy and Communications  Jayne Bannister – Space Manager

3. Workshop plan  Introductions  Exercise 1: what makes a great learning experience?  Examples of learning space design: MB1012, MB1019, MB1020  Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new learning spaces  Continuing the dialogue

4. Exercise 1: what makes a great learning experience?  Remember a great learning experience  What made it great?  What did you do physically?  Did it change you? If so, how?  Was the setting a factor? If so, how?

5. Examples of learning space design: MB1012, MB1019, MB1020  Designed to support knowledge production in small groups  No “official” layout – students and staff decide  Node chairs  Multiple whiteboards / writable walls  More space per person (2.3 sq m)  Calm colour palette

11. Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new learning spaces Example: the McLaren Production Centre  Rapidly reconfigurable to meet changing needs  Small groups working together productively  Calm, neutral colour palette to minimise distractions

12. Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new learning spaces In your groups, think of a metaphor. On your whiteboards, tell us: 1. What is the metaphor? 2. Which aspects of it are most essential? 3. What will people do in the space? 4. How will they feel?
