Transform your space with planning learning spaces in practice
Central to Gratnells purpose is the determined spirit of our MD, Murray Hudson. Murray’s commitment to enhancing learning spaces is reflected in his book, Planning Learning Spaces, a practical guide for Architects, Designers, and School Leaders.
His passion catalysed the inception of The Cambridge Centre for Learning Spaces Innovation, a space for the exchange and discussion of new ideas to advance excellence, innovation and wellbeing in school design and the home of the Planning Learning Spaces in Practice (PLSiP) team. Here Murray works alongside Bhavini Pandya, Project Co-Director of PLSiP, and Terry White, Project Co-Director and Co-Author of PLS.
The Planning Learning Spaces in Practice Framework
Focusing on your school’s vision, values and ethos, the process helps translate learning behaviours and activities into learning space design principles, enabling you to create new spaces – or refurbish existing ones – that actively support your learning goals.
