A STEEP LEARNING CURVE
Classrooms are only one facet of a college campus – in-between spaces are crucial to learning.
learning environments is critical to this process. Campuses best serve
students when they consider the new and diverse ways that students access information, study, and interact with educators and each other.
ONGOING RESEARCH Building on the findings and momentum of these discussions, Gensler is continuing the research through an international survey of 350+ students, seeking to quantify the factors that contribute to successful education environments. The six-part survey, which is currently underway, identifies a series of learning activities that students perform on- and off-campus. For each activity, the survey asks questions about current learning styles and environments, as well as the ideal environments
students envision. The results will help to build an even better picture of the combination of spatial and environmental characteristics that contribute to effective learning environments. Alongside this research,
Gensler is also pursuing a number of other targeted research projects. In the realm of education, these include an investigation into the characteristics of successful STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics) education facilities. Other initiatives span Gensler’s 19 practice areas, investigating how innovative design and delivery solutions can create high-performance business, institutional and civic spaces; using design as a lens through which to address concerns facing the global community.
