Wood & Metal Workshop

DESIGN INTENT

This workshop provides a learning space for 22 students and one teacher. Students complete wood and metal related learning experiences and practice the routines and procedures necessary to do this safely. Fixed benches enable teachers to develop a clear work plan for each student. The workshop is designed to support explore, investigate and create, fabricate and construct activities. The mandatory relationship with two General Learning Spaces separates the function of the specialised metal and work facilities from general learning activities thus creating greater availability and use of the specialist equipment.

FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES

Connecting the adjoining General Learning Spaces would enable greater diversity of learning settings and learning activities. Access to an outside learning area from the workshop would expand the nature and type of activities that can be conducted. The inclusion of a glass sliding door to the adjacent General Learning Spaces would create ease of flow and greater access between learning spaces and the adjacent workshop. The room also lends to use as a specific purpose afterschool school and community activity space.

LEARNING IMPLICATIONS

Given the size of the room and consideration will need to be given to active supervision. The specific nature of the equipment and noise levels will generally require individual and pair explicit teaching activities. Student work samples can be displayed but consideration will need to be given to the type of work sample, the display technique and equipment being used in learning activities. Given that the space is shared by two General Learning Spaces, negotiation of use between teachers and students will be required and consideration will need to be given to the acoustic and spatial layout demands of activities being conducted at the same. Noise interference to the adjacent learning environments can be a factor if learning processes with different acoustic requirements are operated at the same time.
