Just as the workplace is changing, so too are environments for learning. New teaching methods and curricula, changes in student populations, and information technology are all reshaping learning in fundamental ways. To help our clients meet these challenges, DEGW’s learning environments practice brings an international perspective, expertise in the issues, and leadership in forecasting the future of work and learning.

Our Learning Landscape^SM approach recognises that learning and discovery can happen anywhere in an age of mobile computing and networks of physical and virtual places. We employ a variety of special research tools and methods to understand user needs, model alternative scenarios, and develop innovative solutions.

In all our work, we strive to support learning and research, foster interaction and collaboration, create memorable places and experiences, mix uses and communities, and achieve the most effective use of space, time, and resources. We offer a range of services that address learning in all settings and scales, including schools and universities, libraries, research facilities, corporate learning centres, community and cultural facilities.
