These spaces should be able to support the learners individually, in small groups, as a whole class and in larger groups. more insight found here, sample in Newzealand http://www.education.govt.nz/school/property/state-schools/design-standards/flexible-learning-spaces/

This gives a shift in paradigm from the traditional ‘teaching’ to more constructive ‘learning’ for instance, from simply recalling to discovery. Agree with you Joan

I totally agree with you when you say that owing to the costly nature of putting up new structures for learning spaces, utilizing the old ones and just integrate would be good enough. Because technology grows every day and a lot become obsolete once time passes by yet new innovations in technology do not wait.

Technology is changing the way in which we view learning spaces and the personal learning environment of our students because students surf the Internet, Tweet, use Facebook and come up with lots of learning material that a teacher may fail to find single handed for his learners. We as teachers at school need to allow our learners to explore the…[Read more]

Yes, sure in addition to the research programmatic requirements of the space, such as:
Group work or individual study?
Noisy or quiet?
Can the space be reserved?
Will staff require frequent access and/or views into the space?

Thank Willex. In one resource (https://www.edutopia.org/blog/visualizing-21st-century-classroom-design-mary-wade ) Mary Wade encourages us teachers to utilise the existing classrooms and turning them into 21st Century classrooms. She outlines elements of 21 Century classrooms and shows how teachers can visualize and implement them.
