Designing learning spaces - Recipes for success

Learning takes place across galleries and exhibition spaces of a science centre or museum. Still, very often dedicated learning spaces are necessary to augment learning or engage learners in ways that are difficult in galleries. However, creating inspiring, engaging and yet practical dedicated learning spaces, often for varied audiences, is an ever-present challenge. Research suggests that the context in which learning takes place is important and fosters learning so it is vital that we get it right. What are the key ingredients for success? This panel session will take case studies from organisations at different stages in their journeys to create new learning spaces and share the design process and lessons learned to support others looking to re-imagine their learning environments.
