Our final design is bright and airy, with lots of different learning zones.
Plenty of natural light and plenty of wall space to display work or exhibitions.
Students would be encouraged to move around and co-operate on a number of different tasks, helped by the teacher.
This type of classroom would only be practical for classes of about 15 students in periods of about two hours (2-3 classes a day), which we decided would work best for in-depth learning of any subject.
Some of the features of our design are shown below. Click on or hover over the pictures for details.
Our design is all about moving around, working in groups and learning by doing not just listening, we think it would work for most subjects although more practical subjects like Chemistry or Home Economics would need additional facilities.
