With Lauren Bell, Herman Miller
How are universities measuring the tangible outcomes of learning space design? At a recent global research roundtable held by Herman Miller, participants explored measuring outcome variables impacted by the design of innovative environments, such as workplace readiness and student performance. In this session we will explore the outputs and results from learning space toolkits and new resources, and share ideas around key design outcomes and suggestions for the future.
Lauren joined Herman Miller in the USA in 2010 when she was a student herself. After 3 years developing Higher Education business and conducting research around learning space design, Lauren went on to work with university campuses throughout the US and the UK. Lauren now manages Herman Miller Education for EMEA and strategically works with university campuses throughout the world to create great spaces to learn and work.
