3. Education Moving …
• The big move starts in 2012 (may take 2
years to complete)
• Retrofitting faculty spaces - opportunities
for tailoring designs for now and the future
• Setting the principles and priorities for
retrofitting
• Learning from spaces design from
universities world-wide

4. Our Journey started with planning
…

5. Principles for Education Faculty?
• Group users into clusters to best serve different
functional purposes
• Faculty office, program office, research office –
these offices are often visited by students and the
public – will be located at the lower floors of MW
• Teachers, research students, research staff
(including centres), academic visitors would benefit
from being co-located in cognate clusters - offices
for staff and research students, centre
administration, formal and informal shared areas

6. • Learning spaces should include both formal
and informal and should be flexible and
congenial to serendipitous exchanges and
collaboration
• Seamless integration of physical and digital
space, suited for comfort, safety and efficiency
