Learning from Learning Spaces: Informing Collaboration Space Design Through a Multi-Site
Post-Occupancy Evaluation and Workshops
Kimari Phillips, EDAC, Senior Research Analyst, LPA, inc. / Emily Koch, ALEP, Project Designer, LPA, inc. / Garden 1 / AIA CEU: 1. 0 LU /Primary Core Competencies: Assessment of the School Facility / Secondary Core Competencies: Design of Educational Facilities
Collaboration is key to innovative learning environments, but how have they been performing and what can we improve moving forward now that many schools have been operating in them? What types of spaces & features facilitate or support collaboration? We studied 4 schools from elementary to high school level that implemented different collaborative spaces and will share findings from Post-occupancy surveys, educator workshops/focus groups, and observation.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 Illustrate the value of a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) to inform future project designs.
OBJ #2 Understand the components of a post-occupancy evaluation process and how to perform a POE.
OBJ #3 Describe the ways in which specific spatial design features can encourage or inhibit collaborative behavior. OBJ #4 Compare and Contrast collaborative learning spaces and apply POE lessons learned based on goals specific to your project.
School Safety: What Can Schools Learn from America’s Busiest Airports
Beverly Fornof, Senior Associate, Project Manager, Corgan Education / John Mares, AIA RIBA LEED AP BD+C DBIA CASp, Associate Principal, Los Angeles Studio Leader, Corgan Aviation / Garden 4 / AIA CEU: 1.0 LU HSW / Primary Core Competencies: Design of Educational Facilities / Secondary Core Competencies: Educational Facility Implementation, Project Management / Project Delivery
In airports, heading off small and large security threats while easing the experience for tens of thousands of passengers in a complex environment, aviation designers are charged with leading the continual evolution of public safety. Passengers demand seamless measures that don’t further intrude on the stressful travel experience. Similarly, schools face a growing responsibility to address heightened security issues while providing solutions that are all but invisible and preserve a welcoming, nurturing campus community. Corgan’s Education studio have partnered with the designers of the nation’s busiest airports in compiling best practices / future trends that can be expected and implemented in school setting. Design considerations will prioritize the mental, physical and emotional health of the occupants, providing security without compromising the educational environment.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 Discuss what schools can learn from airport security design.
OBJ #2 Explore ways to incorporate seamless, unobtrusive security design measures, prioritizing the mental, physical and emotional health of the occupants
OBJ #3 Hear testimonials from various aviation and education clients on their challenges and ideas for the future of security implementation.
OBJ #4 Come away with a set of tools and discussion strategies to bring to the table during the visioning and design of educational facilities.
