Designing Learning Spaces in Management Education

Track: MED

Keywords: Benchmarking, classroom design, management education

This paper focuses on recent conceptualizations of learning space design in management education. The external architecture of new buildings appears to garner much of the public attention. However, the real impact of new B-schools, in our opinion, is the centrality of internal learning space design. Learning space literature and research argues that changed spaces affect behavior by interacting with learners. In essence, the spirit of learning and teaching are embodied in the thoughtful design of learning spaces. We examine learning space theory and research in relation to our own efforts for interior design in our new building.
