Designing Modern Learning Spaces

Universities and colleges are the vanguard of learning, exploration, and research. We understand that the entire campus is a holistic place—those activities aren’t confined to the classroom or the laboratory. Haworth's "4 Cs" of higher education spaces guide our approach to creating campus environments:

Change is Constant - Smart design and flexible solutions equip leaders to adjust for evolving educational dynamics.
Challenge the Status Quo - Designing campus spaces should involve considering new ideas, experimenting, and testing new approaches.
Choice is the New Norm - A variety of space types gives the campus community options for where to learn and work.
Connection is Key - Environments should facilitate student engagement and bring people together to network and collaborate.

Campus spaces should foster connection and adapt for the future of learning. Whether renovating existing environments or building new ones, it’s essential to center the needs and desires of the university community.

The 5 Types of Campus Spaces

When designing the modern campus, it can be helpful to think of libraries, lecture halls, and other locations in more abstract terms. Isolating the fundamental purpose of each space within its broader context can help enhance its utility to the community.

Here are the 5 space types:

Individual – For students who need to focus and concentrate on their work.
Group – For collaborative learning opportunities inside or outside the classroom.
Multi-Use – For adaptability to support multiple activities in shared common areas like building lobbies.
Living – For residential areas that meet students’ essential housing needs.
Specialty – For engineering, arts, and athletics programs that require customized spaces.
