    This interactive workshop explores how the interplay of design, pedagogy and technology can impact the social well-being of learners in educational spaces. Attendees engage in conversations about inclusion research in the 21st century and a hands-on demonstration of an in-classroom discussion tool that aims to promote student engagement. The presenters share results from a mixed methods, post-occupancy study that captures students and teachers voices of their experiences of the discussion tool in two learning environments. This workshop offers an opportunity to explore how the built environment, diverse learners’ needs, and technology can help promote more fulfilling social interactions.

Now, with a focus on the future of education, we are asking: what’s next? If the ‘4 Cs’ are the focus for today’s learners, what skills will students of the…

  • Why Some of the Coolest Spaces at Work Sit Empty

    Steelcase 360 Magazine

    Offices around the world today look a lot more like a coffee shop or a boutique hotel than the rabbit warren of cubicles, private offices and conference rooms that people liked to poke fun at. Bringing baristas and bartenders into the workplace, along with cushy sofas, farmhouse tables and mismatched chairs is the hottest trend in workplace design. Whether you call it “resimercial,” “ancillary spaces” or “loose furnishings” the goal is the same: attract the best talent by offering a workplace…

    Offices around the world today look a lot more like a coffee shop or a boutique hotel than the rabbit warren of cubicles, private offices and conference rooms that people liked to poke fun at. Bringing baristas and bartenders into the workplace, along with cushy sofas, farmhouse tables and mismatched chairs is the hottest trend in workplace design. Whether you call it “resimercial,” “ancillary spaces” or “loose furnishings” the goal is the same: attract the best talent by offering a workplace with a relaxed vibe and hip sensibility. This decidedly “anti-corporate” approach to the workplace is intended to inject creativity and humanity into our culture and work process.

    Reimagining Medical Workspaces: Information Ecosystems for Future Nurse stations

    The work of doctors and nurses demands intensive sharing of highly technical information throughout the long and varied workday, under highly stressful situations. Yet at the same time, they must remain emotionally engaged and empathetic. Working in partnership with furniture company Steelcase, a team of multi-disciplinary researchers at Virginia Tech examined how to integrate digital technologies with the design of the physical environment. The goal was to reduce clinician burnout by ensuring information flow that is accurate, current, and easily understood, especially during emergencies when stress and emotions are acute.
