This seminar learning space provides a learning and social environment for up to four students. The suggested furniture promotes the use of the space as a quiet, withdrawal area and it can be used for focussed learning sessions for those requiring support. The room is designed for activities that include one to one conversation, discussion, reading and storytelling, explicit teaching and demonstrations as well as activities involving individuals in quiet reflection, research or consolidation.
FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES
This room lends itself to use as a Counselling Room, a dedicated Special Needs withdrawal space, an information technology laboratory, or a small research and investigate space. Vertical display areas and glazing would allow display of student work and provide natural lighting and/or vision to an adjoining learning space.
LEARNING IMPLICATIONS
Given the small size of the space and acoustic and spatial implications depending on the type of learning activities planned. Noise interference from the adjacent Independent Learning Space could be a factor if learning processes with different acoustic requirements are operated at the same time. Investigate and construct activities will be limited to those that require small media and technology resources and activities that are not dependent on close wet area access and durable surfaces.
