Abstract
This article explains the relationship between learning spaces and the furtherance of student engagement and enhancement of student-faculty interaction. Following a design-driven methodology and considering flexibility, interaction, and connectivity as core elements to classroom design, we have prototyped spaces and implemented them in 96 classrooms. After doing so, we evaluated how the classrooms were used through a mixed-methods study that involved more than a thousand students. The results of this study highlight the importance of the physical space as a factor that contributes to student engagement and connects both students and professors in an active learning process.
