Workshop for schools about learning spaces

In March, I led a workshop at the UJIA with Gleeds advisory on school refurbishment.  The participants included free schools, existing schools and new schools who are planning to refurbish or extend their building.  The workshop was divided into four sections, focusing first on faith identity in design, then 21st century learning environments, then strategies for planning out the school and then finally examples of good school refurbishments.  We had excellent feedback, and have been talking with some of the schools on putting these principles into action in their upcoming school projects.
