Learning

The interconnected world is a multi-cultural village and our young people need the skills and understanding to relate to new ideas. The nature of learning has changed accordingly, from formal rote learning to the development of more flexible and self-assured skills. There is increasing recognition that modern student-centred teaching methods lead to the acquisition of the skills, competencies and behaviours that future employers require.

Education is a long-term process and the buildings we create require an in-depth understanding of how they will adapt over time. Keppie has been developing concepts that respond to such challenges. The information age has broken down geographical boundaries. Young and old alike require modern learning environments to meet new challenges and our social infrastructure needs constant modernisation to afford people healthy and comfortable lifestyles but without threatening the planet’s ecology. Keppie has developed these concepts in over 80 education projects over the last 15 years - from pre-school kindergarten facilities, through primary and secondary schools to further and higher education.
