Psychology of Learning Spaces

Where do students prefer to hangout, socialize, study, and learn? How do progressive designs influence pedagogy and vice versa? Our diverse panel will share qualitative and quantitative data that reveals how the intersection of design thinking and pedagogy can transform learning and teaching styles, enhance adaptability of space and function, foster growth through discovery and exploration, and generate a sense of community — all within high-performing buildings that maximize environmental stewardship opportunities.
