This room provides minimal desks and chairs for up to 10 people. It is designed to be used as a small rehearsal space and as a preparation area for performances. It is configured to support seating plans for individual, paired and small and medium groups and is suitable for a variety of learning and social support activities. The area can also be used for focussed learning sessions for those requiring support. Learning experiences could include activities which promote self-management through working either individually or in small to medium groups on rehearsals, and research and reflective activities.
FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES
This room can be used for individual and small group student, staff and communal learning and formal meetings. Learning experiences requiring small student groups could be scheduled in this room.
LEARNING IMPLICATIONS
If more than one small group is working in this room, consideration will need to be given to acoustics and spatial layout. Noise interference from the adjacent Performance Workshop could be a factor if learning processes with different acoustic requirements are operated at the same time. Investigate, construct and display activities are not generally supported by this room design
Explore ideas, share and develop opinions, debate and decide.
This learning process is effective with small to large groups provided specific criteria can be met.
Display, exchange and encounter learning artefacts.
This learning process is effective with small to very large groups provided specific criteria can be met.
Teachers and/or students demonstrate, communicate ideas and/or teach explicitly.
This learning process is effective with small to very large groups provided specific criteria can be met.
Hands on interaction, experimentation and evaluation with materials to discover, design and test.
This learning process is effective with small to very large groups provided specific criteria can be met.
Implement, build or assemble systems and media.
This learning process is effective with small to very large groups provided specific criteria can be met.
Use written, graphical and digital resources to personally reflect, consolidate and/or enquire.
This learning process is for individual or small groups and is effective provided specific criteria can be met.
Practise, refine and execute performance based activity.
This learning process is effective with small to very large groups provided specific criteria can be met.
Ratings against the Design Criteria

All criteria regarding spatial layout, fit-out, visibility and acoustics can be met.

Most criteria regarding spatial layout, fit-out, visibility and acoustics can be met. Some consideration will need to be given to determine whether constraints on ease of use, group size or materials will compromise the learning outcomes.

Few of the criteria regarding spatial layout, fit-out, visibility and acoustics can be met. A lot of consideration will need to be given to determine how the constraints on ease of use, group size or materials can be overcome.

Very few of the criteria regarding spatial layout, fit-out, visibility and acoustics can be met. This space should only be used for this learning mode as a last resort.

This space is incapable of supporting this learning mode.

This learning process is not employed with this size group.
