General resources for learning space design:

 * New Visions for Roosevelt HS librar: []


 * [|NE(X)T GEN LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS] by Dr Kenn Fisher in "Building Excellence: Exploring the implications of the Curriculum for Excellence for School Buildings."
 * [|School Design Studio]. School Design Studio is dedicated to engaging clients worldwide in organizational change processes that result in creative, unique, inspiring, motivational and effective community learning environments. School Design Studio facilitates collaborative interchanges in planning, design and implementation of school designs intended to empower children, youth, parents, teachers, and surrounding community. Here you can find [|Lackney's, 33 Educational Design Principles]//.//
 * Universities with cutting edge learning space initiatives, e.g.[|Emory], [|MIT], [|Stanford], [|University of Minnesota].
 * Educause Review: Entire Issue devoted to learning space design, [|July/Aug 2005] and [|March/April 2009]
 * [|Educause Quarterly]: Entire Issue devoted to learning space design, 2009
 * “[|This [EDUCAUSE Learning Spaces Constituent Group]] session will provide a forum to discuss topics ranging from what makes a physical space conducive to learning to the principles and processes of learning space design. **Well-designed learning spaces are predicated on an understanding of the learning activities that must occur, the type of interaction desired, the needs of the discipline, and the learning outcomes sought**. Join us and share your ideas and experience on how formal spaces and non-formal spaces impact teaching practices, learning activities and effectiveness, student interactions, as well as the campus sense of community.”

 * The National Clearninghouse for Educational Facilities (NCEF): []
 * [|School Construction News]. The online resource for design, construction, management, and operations.
 * [|Design Share] magazine and website with case studies, articles, and the "language of school design."
 * The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) publication //[|Designing Spaces for Effective Learning]// (March 2006) and their [|'Planning & Designing Technology-Rich Learning Spaces'] which inlcudes a [|Gallery of images] on Flickr.
 * The [|National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities (NCEF)] has some great pointers and resources to get you thinking about how to “spend smartly” as you craft your design proposal.
 * Informal spaces
 * Revisiting design methodologies and applying the Learning Landscape approach leads to campuses that are "networks" of places for learning, discovery, and discourse between students, faculty, staff, and the wider community.
