Learning Spaces

The project Future Learning Spaces needs learning spaces to develop innovative methods of education, bring awareness to the project, evaluate techniques that are working and to abandon techniques that lack the desired impact on education. The spaces that we are using for this all have a distinct goal, implementation and use.

They share the characteristics that they are unique spaces within Utrecht University, enable innovation and are accessible to the entire University. Our Future Learning Spaces are identifiable by stickers using the image that is displayed here, and additional information about all of them can be found on this page.

The spaces

  • Learning Plaza

    Due to its size, diversity of furniture and the educational support resources available, the LP offers the opportunity for several learning activities to take place simultaneously. Note: We book one teaching activity at a time, but please note that students may also use the LP as a study space, provided they follow house rules.

    Capacity: 150

    Location: Minnaert 1.25
