My ideal learning
environment
A Year 7 Project
The Task
Working as a member of an architectural team you are
competing against other companies to win the contract to
design a state-of-the-art teaching area on a given site.
The teaching area must accommodate 100 students and
must fit within the area shown on your copy of the site
area.
GR Nov 2007
Consider
• What would school have to be like to make you want to
spend a lot of time there?
• How many students would you put into one learning space
at a time?
• What subjects are going to be taught in your new
classroom?
GR Nov 2007
Consider
• How much space would be needed to accommodate
the technology and the types of learning activities you
envision?
• How much of the site are you willing to give up for
parking?.. athletic fields? .. roads? (are there other
options worth considering?)
GR Nov 2007
Decide
• How many learning spaces you’ll need to
accommodate 100 students
• Whether to stack the learning spaces, fan them, scatter
them, cluster them, etc.
• How to connect all the spaces (walkways on the
ground, above ground, underground?)

Drawing a Plan
To calculate the area of
the wall we need to first
find its length.
Each square = 1m

Calculating the area of the wall
The Wall is 60m long.
If we want the wall to be 3m high
(which is the height of your classrooms)
Then the area of the wall is
60 x 3 = 180m2.

Key Points
The teaching area must accommodate 100 students and
must fit within the area shown on your copy of the site
area.
There is not a price limit but you must be able to explain
your decisions.
You will be required to give a short presentation during the
last 50 minutes of the day and the best group will go
through to the final which will be held in the hall at
2.50pm.
