Creating adaptable and innovative spaces for staff and students
We have over thirty years’ experience designing further and higher educational establishments, having completed projects for universities, campuses, academies, sports facilities, research centres and specialist libraries.
Today, design in the further and higher education sectors is as much about creating a small scale community that will cater for work, rest and play as it is developing a functional environment.
The impact of new technology on pedagogy is influencing education building design. The rise of informal, flexible learning spaces has led to a new breed of education environments in both new builds and ‘adaptive re-use buildings.
To remain sustainable and meet the growing expectations of students and parents, spaces that cater for life and work need to support both study and social interaction. These spaces must recognise students as valuable consumers and assets to the success of the higher education sector and the cities within which they live.
