The Estates and Facilities team are excited to announce throughout the week of 24 January 2022, we are hosting a range of face to face and online events focussed on the development of campus education spaces, to reflect the lessons learned from the past 20 months and to support the future of teaching and learning.
The aim of The Art of the Possible – The Future of Education Spaces is to provide a new avenue for discussion between Estates & Facilities, students and teaching colleagues, giving you a chance to input into the ongoing investment strategy in education spaces which will in turn feed into the overall estate masterplan for the campus.
During The Art of the Possible you can expect:
- Case studies of exemplar spaces both here at Newcastle University and in other Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in the UK and internationally
- The increasing use of social learning spaces across campus and the student experience during the exam period
- The benefits of technology in teaching spaces
- The importance of considering wellbeing in space design
- Active learning space development in HEI’s
- Hybrid teaching, how international HEI’s have made this work and what we can learn from their experiences
There will also be the opportunity to take part in a workshop on space design with Professor Prue Chiles (Professor of Design Research), attend a session in an augmented reality teaching room and see a flythrough of the new Stephenson Building teaching spaces!
We’re looking forward to sharing these events with you – keep an eye on here and our Estates Instagram: nuestates for more updates!
