Kinnarps learning space analysis

HOW KINNARPS’ LEARNING SPACE ANALYSIS WORKS

Our learning space analysis finds out what is needed to create the very best learning environment for you. It gives a good basis for a supportive learning space and a starting point for sketching the interior design proposal. An important part of the analysis is also to involve, include and prepare everyone who will use the future spaces. In simple terms, it’s about understanding and analysing in order to improve. This is how our method looks:

Vision Workshops Web survey Data

Inspiration & vision First, we gather the management or project group for vision and inspiration. We hold a lecture about the learning spaces of the future, based on research and experience, we make study visits and conduct a workshop to create consensus. Together, the group formulates values, vision and strategy. It is important for the management to have a clear idea of why they are carrying out the change.

Workshops In the next stage, staff and students are involved. New ideas and ways of thinking are tried out by means of concrete tools and workshops. For example, the participants are given the chance to reflect on where they want to perform different types of activities and, with the help of blocks and a board, try furnishing different learning environments. Web survey The mapping also includes a web survey in which the participants answer questions about their current learning environment and how they would like to work in their future learning environment. How proud are you of your school? Do you feel secure? Are there spaces for concentration? Are there spaces for collaboration? How does the classroom work?

Data All data gathered from the web survey and from our meetings, discussions and workshops is compiled in a report. Together with you, we go through the report and its conclusions. We make recommendations about the physical environment and what is important to consider in the next stage, when a design is drawn up. The report provides a basis for creating the very best learning environment for you.

THE EFFECT

The effect you get from a learning space analysis is a sustainable, future-proof, thought-out and well-designed learning space. An environment that supports students and staff today, tomorrow and over time, and that promotes success, well-being, learning and development.

Sustainable people • Inclusion and involvement • Better health and well-being • Team spirit • Pride in the school • Increased productivity, efficiency and creativity

Sustainable environments • The right type and number of environments • Flexible environments that can be modified over time and as needed • Variation of environments that encourage movement and better ergonomics • Future-proof environments in quality, design and flexibility • Environments that support actual activities • Environments for collaboration and sharing knowledge

Sustainable economics • More efficient use of space • The right interior design solution from the start, which minimises unnecessary additions • Increased productivity, efficiency and creativity • Less sick leave • Stronger brand and easier recruitment

A SUSTAINABLE CLASSROOM IS PREPARED FOR DIFFERENT LEARNING SITUATIONS

Discussion Individual work

By using a flexible interior design, you can create a sustainable, future-proof classroom. Here, the same 60 sq m classroom has been furnished in four different ways with the same furniture, to support different learning situations.
