Campus design is no longer just about grassy quads and ivy-covered walls—the past decade has seen a surge in new designs that facilitate learning and nurture student development. This book introduces you to the many design factors that impact student success, and helps you develop a solid strategy for implementing the changes that can make the biggest difference to your campus.

  • Evaluate your campus and consider the potential for change
  • Make your spaces more welcoming, inclusive, and functional

Designing for Learning gives you a greater understanding of modern campus design, and the practical application that brings theory to life.
