The impact of lecture theatre design on learning experience
Abstract
This exploratory research investigates the issues surrounding the impact of lecture facilities on the student learning experience. Given the growing administrative significance of lecturer/student ratios, room utilization and occupancy levels, the importance of the lecture facility in the academic programmes of universities is central. Facility function must have an effect on future design decisions in regard to both new build facilities and refurbishment projects. The better informed those decisions are, the greater the quality of the learning experiences taking place in them. The methodology and findings of a research project are considered. It was found that generic design criteria can form the basis for benchmarking facility performance.
