  1. Designing Seminar Rooms Workshop at the 2013 Student/Staff Conference

  2. Workshop plan • Introductions • Exercise 1: what makes a great seminar? • Our newest seminar rooms: MB1012, MB1019 and MB1020 • Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new seminar spaces • Continuing the dialogue

  3. Introductions • What’s your name? • What do you do? (your course or job title)

  4. Exercise 1: what makes a great seminar? • Remember your best seminar experience • What made it great? • What did you do physically? • Did it change you? If so, how? • Was the room a factor? If so, how?

  5. Our newest seminar rooms: MB1012, MB1019 and MB1020 • Designed to support knowledge production in small groups • No “official” layout – students and staff decide • Node chairs • Multiple whiteboards • More space per person (2.3 sq m) • Calm colour palette

  6. Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new seminar spaces Example: the McLaren Production Centre • Rapidly reconfigurable to meet changing needs • Small groups working together productively • Calm, neutral colour palette to minimise distractions

  7. Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new seminar spaces In your groups, choose a metaphor and write or sketch: • What is the metaphor? • What is significant about it? • What will people physically do in the space? • How will they feel during / after seminars?

  8. Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new seminar spaces In your groups, think of a metaphor. On your whiteboards, tell us: • What is the metaphor? • Which aspects of it are most essential? • What will people do in the space? • How will they feel?
