NBBJ Design’s Westmark School is Designed for Learning Differences. The global firm’s Los Angeles–based studio worked with landscape architects SWA to create an education space dedicated to both physical and emotional well-being. The lower school campus of the Westmark School, a private academy in Encino, California, dedicated to supporting students with learning differences, is a model for charting a new direction. Not just for educational architecture, but for any type of building. Embracing research in neuroscience, education, and architecture, the facility addresses learning challenges from top to bottom, from incorporating nature and natural materials to encouraging multi-sensory learning to limiting stressors like excess noise and clutter. https://lnkd.in/eqz8ApSP

CRG's Vice President of Design and Development, Alison Mills, spoke with Multi-Housing News to discuss the important role color plays in shaping a development's character and appeal. Chapter at #Madison is a prime example of how thoughtful color choices can enhance the #studenthousing experience. The art of choosing the right colors extends beyond aesthetics. It's about understanding the audience, the property's context, and the longevity of design choices. Chapter at Madison excels in blending school spirit with sophisticated design, ensuring our student housing is stylish and resonant with academic pride.

The 7 principles of #UniversalDesign: 1) Equitable use: identical operation for everyone not just "separate but equal", and make the design appealing 2) Flexibility in use: empower choice in usage, improve accuracy of usage 3) Simple and intuitive use: consistency and simplicity including language skills and literacy, also effective prompting and feedback 4) Perceptible information: redundant info presentation and feedback, maximize "legibility", compatibility with reading methods 5) Tolerance for error: minimize hazards and errors, provide warnings and fail-safes 6) Low physical effort: minimize repetitive or sustained physical effort, and let people remain in a neutral body position 7) Size and space for approach and use: accommodate hand, grip, and easy line of sight for all people, including room for assistive devices and personal assistance These design principles guided the building of the Ed Roberts campus at UC Berkeley.

?????? Another post by Oriane Guiziou-Lamour! "the space of DH as intention" ??????- In which she discusses the spaces we teach and learn in and how they affect our ability to do our work.

Up to 90% of the space on a typical university estate can be classed as ‘non-teaching’ space – whether that’s libraries, research labs, shared social spaces or offices. And here’s the kicker – these are the spaces that as space managers, we often find it hardest to measure good use of! For one, we can’t count ‘bums on seats’ (or to use space-lingo… occupancy rates) to calculate utilisation rates. And that’s really just the start. Post-pandemic, we’re all trying to work out what the university campus of the future might look like. A big part of that is figuring out the effect of our more ‘hybrid’ world on communal campus space. Will we start to need less of it? Or should we be using it in different ways to encourage more students back onto campus? This topic poses so many questions, which is why we recently brought together some of space planning’s razor-sharp minds to help us unpick it in more detail. Then we rounded everything up into a handy 5-minute read that we think will give anyone in university space planning some food for thought. Read it here - and tell us your biggest non-teaching space challenges in the comments?? https://buff.ly/3OZdb3r #Escentral #SpaceManagement #SpacePlanning #NonTeachingSpace #SpaceUtilisation #Campus #University #Blog

TRENDS IN HIGHER ED: Things like neurodiversity are impacting flooring's role in higher education higher spaces, which must be more flexible than ever, both in terms of function and in supporting the diverse populations using the space: https://bit.ly/4dHnCDA
