Last century’s classroom design was focused on rote memorization. The 21st century classroom must nurture collaboration and hands-on-learning. A whole new generation, Gen Y, is bringing new tools, attitudes and learning styles to campus.

The Steelcase Workspace Futures research team completed a six-stage process to develop a deep understanding of the classroom and the needs of students. Based on the findings, there are innovative insights for higher education classrooms.

Insight One: Design for multiple rhythms
Support different zones for each learning mode; engage, explore, explain, evaluate and extend.

Insight Two: Everyone to be seen & heard
No matter where a student is seated, they need direct viewing of the instructor, course content and other students. Similarly, instructors need physical access to every student.

Insights Three Leverage New Media
Incorporate technology into Instructor’s curriculum along with student thinking and subject content for an enhanced mixed media experience.
