Effective Learning Places Health Check

Space efficiency is becoming increasingly important in UK higher education sector. Significant government budget cuts first announced at the end of 2009 were followed by a review of education funding mid 2010. Further cuts in the Governments Capital Spending Review announced in October 2010 highlight the need to identify savings in all operational areas.

The challenge is how, with less space, do you enhance the student experience demanded by the fee paying 'customer', address the fiscal climate, support the changing needs of 21st century learning and work places, promote innovation and provide for the academic vision to maintain your global market position. A different approach is required.

In response to these challenging conditions, leading architectural firm PRP has partnered with Mosaic Space to create the Effective Learning Places Health Check service. This offering brings together the disciplines of:

Architecture
Masterplanning
Space planning
Building surveying
Sustainability (environmental, social and economic)
Educational visioning
Space utilisation
Energy and environmental engineering

Working in collaboration we identify areas where savings can be made in estate's provision without comprising institutional quality or the much coveted student experience. The implementation of space efficiencies integrated with technology and partnered with new learning techniques can enhance the delivery of teaching and learning.
