The changing educational requirements of increasingly diverse student populations have prompted more tailored, student-centred approaches to designing ‘environments-for-learning’ on and off campus. New strategies for enabling learning and accommodating the multiple demands on today’s students have necessitated a rethinking of the use, design and location of learning space. Increasingly, approaches to learning are required to be flexible and networked, bringing together formal and informal activities in a seamless environment that recognises that learning can take place any time, in either physical and/or virtual spaces.
