Redefining Learning Spaces

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is excited to announce a call for submissions to a design competition for a new laboratory school on the University of Louisiana campus in Lafayette, Louisiana. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s Learning Lab is looking for design concepts that support the core mission: leading education for all of Louisiana. The Learning Lab is a space which advocates for curiosity, creativity, connectivity, and collaboration among students, teachers, administrators, and the community. Submissions are encouraged to break away from traditional educational architecture formulas and think creatively about how the Learning Lab can become an inviting, exciting, and inspiring environment for learning. It is our hope that the Learning Lab will serve as an example for schools of the future as well as provide resources and support for current schools in the area. We hope to receive design submissions incorporating strategic, dramatic design ideas that will follow the school’s aspirations of designing and testing innovative pedagogy and curricula that can be replicated in other community schools.
