New Learning Environments | Educational Space Planning

Our research driven team collaborates with learning communities and design professionals to co-create and improve learning environments for contemporary learning, teaching and research practices. We deliver educational space planning services and resources across all educational sectors for high level space planning, such as briefing and master planning, through to more detailed and strategic planning required for successful transition and occupancy.

Ana and Emma and the New Learning Environments team has worked with MGS Architects on several recent projects, including master plans for the University of Canberra and Monash University, and the new Year 7&8 Building at Xavier College.
The team’s deep experience in pedagogy and space, augmented by Ana’s architectural experience and Emma’s history as a teacher, has enriched our work, ensuring our projects challenge convention while supporting future pedagogies. Ana and Emma are fantastic listeners, able to draw together disparate views adroitly, aligning stakeholders throughout the process. Working with NLE on projects of different scales and across the secondary and tertiary sectors has shown us the deep value of their work. Their contemporary pedagogical thinking is at the heart of our projects and resonates through the physical design.
We look forward to collaborating with the NLE team again in the future.
