The Centre for Future Learning has been designed with active learning as its core objective, incorporating the kinds of formal and informal spaces that students need to acquire and practice the wide range of skills that they will need to thrive in the 21st century.
The Centre for Future Learning will provide a modern, technology-enabled learning environment, designed for flexibility of use, with adaptable spaces to facilitate group activities and engagement with lecturers. The design also pays close attention to the circulation spaces within the building to create a welcoming and comfortable space to meet and to study.
The building will consist of 11,580m2 of floor space across 4 levels incorporating teaching and workspace facilities, a future learning resource hub, an atrium and other common areas. The façade will be a combination of glazing, stone cladding and Rheinzinc clad canopies. The building roof will contain a green sedum roof system, photovoltaic roof panels and large roof lights and is designed to an NZEB standard.
The Centre for Future Learning has been designed to support the University’s diverse community of students by adhering to principles of universal design and the creation of agile/flexible spaces that are responsive to different users' needs.
