Designing Classrooms Of The Future
- 1. Visioning Tomorrow’s Classrooms Leanne Chun March 6, 2009 Leeward Community College
- 2. Goal This session will help you to develop ideas on how classroom design can facilitate teaching and learning. Image from LCC Catalog 2005-06
- 3. Who are your students? A Vision of Students Today
- 4. Traditional Learning Spaces This is what an old fashioned, one room classroom used to look like.
- 6. Traditional Learning Spaces This is what my current classroom looks like.
- 8. Do you see any similarities between the classrooms? Do you see any differences?
- 9. Classrooms today Let’s take a look at what a redesigned classroom space looks like. University of Minnesota’s Classroom Laboratory
- 13. Trends in Education Technology Rich Environments New modalities for Teaching & Learning Do you know the trends occurring in education? 3. Flexible physical spaces

- 21. Lecture Halls Yes, but they are being designed a bit differently. Are lecture halls still being used? Oh, I see, they are being designed with flexibility in mind also
- 22. Lecture Halls
- 23. Lecture Halls Stanford University Wallenberg Hall
- 24. Classroom Layouts Let’s take a look at a few classroom layouts.

- 26. Classroom Layout University of Alabama http://www.ncsu.edu/PER/SCALEUP/Classrooms.html
- 27. Writing Surfaces What about other aspects in the classroom, like writing surfaces and furniture?
- 28. Writing Surfaces New York University
- 29. Writing Surfaces Stanford University
- 30. Writing Surfaces Stanford University
- 31. Furniture Stanford University

- 33. Quotes “While it is difficult to build the perfect classroom, a flexible classroom comes close.” (Leiboff) Classrooms should be conceived as spaces that can, should, and inevitably must change (within certain parameters) over time. (Leiboff)
- 34. Discussion… Let’s discuss various classroom designs
Editor's Notes
- This Active Learning Classrooms (36 capacity)Enables instructors to better interact with students
- Furniture and technology set-up allow students to work in small groups, which takes advantage of cooperative learning techniques and helps students form learning groups Active Learning Classrooms (72 capacity)
- Creates a cooperative learning environment that encourages students to collaborate with peers by questioning and teaching one another
- Previously, students were provided only enough personal space for their textbook (or other instructional material) and notebooks for note taking. With the introduction of laptop computers on college campuses and in the curriculum of many courses, students need additional workspace to allow for the laptop computer, as well as for traditional instructional materials and notebooks. At a minimum, an 18” deep work surface is required to accommodate laptop computersFurniture is all on wheels, 2-way video conference, laptop cart in room
- Flexible space – everything is on wheels, even the small whiteboard
- Other space-related trends in education include a greater emphasis on interactivity among students within the classroom and a heightened priority on good sightlines for presentation of audiovisual materials.Writing class – lots of group work in the class. Flat screens allow for group review of the writing.
- Multipurpose room – lecture, demo, and clinic
- Center for Science, Education, and Technology
- To facilitate interactivity among students, many classrooms are incorporating a “case study” design wherein curved tables are arranged on tiered rows. Other teaching models encourage loose furnishings that can be rearranged to allow for small group learning within the classroom.This lecture hall is not as steep, making it more intimate. It is also more flexible than a traditional lecture hall because the seats can rotate so front row students can turn around and work with the row behind them. Also the U shape makes classroom discussion easier.
- Another lecture hall, but this is a “ballroom” in which all the furniture is moveable. It is completely flexible, but allows for a large number of students.
- We will look at a few classroom layouts as a group then spend the rest of the time in smaller groups looking at specific layouts.
- Flexible room design allows classrooms to keep pace with changing course requirements and pedagogyflexibility in room size and capacityflexibility in classroom technologyflexibility in furnitureNotice where the instructor stands in relationship to the classroom, notice where the front of the classroom is in relation to the student positions.
- Allows instructors to coach students during activities by assisting them in answering their own questionsAllows students to present their results to the class for review by peers and instructorsNotice screen placement and the “front” of the room
