Intentional Space Design
Designing
BY ROBERT DILLON
Brain-Friendly Learning Spaces
A
eading space design isn’t
another thing to add to the
already busy schedule for
school leaders, but it is an essential
lever of change that can support all
of the initiatives in the building. It
is a comprehensive effort to rethink
space design. Leading space design
will grow the school’s capacity for
change, promote a healthy learning
culture, and garner the support of
the greater community. It goes well
beyond conversations about how new
furniture, hacked furniture and flex-
ible seating can change the learning
in the classroom.
