SPACE SOLUTIONS:
Education Spaces
For someone who has been out of school for a number of years, returning to the classroom might come as a shock. Gone are the rows of desks, replaced by collaborative work areas. Students today enjoy smart desks with comfortable seats and built in backpack storage. They enjoy classrooms with lounge seating and casual work areas. And they enjoy technology that brings the knowledge of the world to their classrooms.

Classroom Design Trends
So what are the top design trends when it comes to higher education classrooms? Designers believe classrooms will become more natural, support ergonomics, allow for mindfulness and focus on simplicity of design. Higher education institutions will require flexibility and the ability for students to socialize. Universities and colleges should prioritize collaboration spaces, according to designers.
What’s the most important aspect of educational design? Flexibility. Students and teachers need classrooms that can adapt and change throughout the day. Those spaces must also support hybrid learning — a model that includes a combination of in-person and remote learning methods. Hyper-flexible and tech-enabled classrooms will provide students and educators more choice.

Students learning to be caregivers have special needs. There is the opportunity to educate a new generation of caregivers with the latest technology and learning methods and to “open up” healthcare to make it more equitable. There is also the challenge of how to accommodate growing demand and address the issue of burnout in what can be a high-stress degree program and career.

The future isn’t radically different, it’s just radically closer. Future students will continue to blur the boundaries between work, play, learning, and just “being.” As they use campus facilities, they will expect team-based everything, blended flexible “do-it-yourself” spaces where functions are determined by the etiquette of the users, not by some preconceived signage on the wall.
