Designing for Learning [EPUB ebook] 
Creating Campus Environments for Student Success

Understand the design factors of campus environmental theory
that impact student success and create a campus of consequence

Designing for Learning is a comprehensive introduction to
campus environmental theory and practice, summarizing the influence
of collegiate environments on learning and providing practical
strategies for facilitating student success through intentional
design. This second edition offers new coverage of universal
design, learning communities, multicultural environments, online
environments, social networking, and safety, and challenges
educators to evaluate the potential for change on their own
campuses. You’ll learn which factors make a living-learning
community effective, and how to implement these factors in the
renovation of campus facilities. An updated selection of vignettes,
case scenarios, and institutional examples help you apply theory to
practice, and end-of-chapter reflection questions allow you to test
your understanding and probe deeper into the material and how it
applies to your environment.

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.

* Learn how environments shape and influence student
behavior

* Evaluate your campus and consider the potential for change

* Make your spaces more welcoming, inclusive, and functional

* Organize the design process from research to policy
implementation

Colleges and universities are institutions of purpose and place,
and the physical design of the facilities must be undertaken with
attention to the ways in which the space’s dimensions and features
impact the behavior and outlook of everyone from students to
faculty to staff. Designing for Learning gives you a greater
understanding of modern campus design, and the practical
application that brings theory to life.
