JONES ARCHITECTURE: We are an architecture practice with a focus on programming, planning, and design for higher education.

OUR MISSION: Support our clients in the broadest sense as they seek to shape their environment.

Planning for Learning Environments: Maximizing Your Institutional Resources

Aging Physical Plants Necessitate Improved Learning Environments Growth Goals Demand Additional Space Rapidly Changing Technology Requires Robust and Flexible Infrastructure Resilient Space Types Persist Case Study Classrooms, Auditoriums, Rational Lab Modules, “Sage on the Stage”

Emergence of Interdisciplinary Learning and Changing Pedagogy Yields New Space Types Learning Commons, Digital Media Suites, SCALE-UP Classrooms (StudentCentered Active Learning Environments), “Guide on the Side”

QUESTION: What other demands are being placed on learning environments at your Institution?

Reduced Carbon Footprint

$

How do we balance these forces?

Proposed Site Plan & Program Distribution

Proposed Program Distribution (Intermingled)

QUESTION: Do programs at your Institution have a 1:1 relationship with buildings where they reside?

Or are they intermingled? Which model would be most responsive to the pedagogy at your Department or Institution? Why?

What challenges may arise with a more Intermingled Model?

Loss of Departmental Identity Departmental Territorialism Registrar Space vs. Departmental Space Varied Level of Expectation Reporting Structures

What opportunities can be leveraged with a more Intermingled Model?

Highest & Best Use of Existing Building Stock Build Smaller, Build Smarter Smaller Carbon Footprint

New Paths of Research Increased Classroom Utilization Shared Support Resources

QUESTION: What other challenges and opportunities would you expect to encounter with your Department or Institution?

Proposed Space Type Blend

Space Type Blend - Case Study & Auditorium

Pennsylvania State University

University of Minnesota

NC State - Before

NC State - Pilot

Space Type Blend - Active Learning Classroom

Space Type Blend - Flexible Labs & Classrooms

Other Program General Purpose Classrooms of Various Sizes Seminar Rooms Specialty Labs (Cyberforensics, BIM, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science) Collaborative Work Rooms Language Lab General Computer Labs

What are the characteristics that you should be seeking in a program blend?

Flexibility and Future Use Capacity Infrequent Purpose-Built Space Responsive to Departmental Need Responsive to Institutional Need Range of Pedagogical Approaches

QUESTION: Is the blend of learning environments at your Institution aligned with your culture, pedagogical approach, and progam need?
