21st Century Learning Environments

School buildings have a crucial contribution to make to raising educational achievement. Designing high performance school buildings for the 21st century for all children is a shared concern amongst OECD countries. Innovative research seeks architectural answers that make efficient use of the resources invested in building, renovating and running schools. Changes in the design of those buildings must serve the educational process and improve the quality of the learning environment. A major challenge is to secure the best possible design input to deliver schools that will meet future needs and expectations and offer a positive environment that supports learning and teaching.Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Staff is the author of '21st Century Learning Environments ', published 2006 under ISBN 9789264006485 and ISBN 9264006486.
