11:00 - 12:00 | Session G1: Large learning spaces: What does the future hold?
Synopsis: How might large learning spaces evolve in the future? Seven experts, seven perspectives and each with 225 seconds of clarity and insight. The demand for and use of large learning spaces is constantly evolving. Some of the key factors that are causing this transformation include changes in pedagogy and digital technologies. And, over the last year, the impact of Covid-19 has made the discussion about their future use even more immediate. To reflect on these changes, we’ve assembled seven academics and industry experts. Each will use PechaKucha, a rapid and dynamic presentation technique (15 slides and only 15 seconds each). The upshot is that the audience will get a rapid distillation of insightful information in a concise and fast-moving format. We’ve given each speaker the freedom to take this topic in whatever direction they wish: this will include changes in pedagogy, innovative uses of space and an exploration of those things that might be fundamental to large learning spaces of the future. So what does the future hold? Join us for an exhilarating and thought-provoking hour. |

Session G2: Creating a responsible all-electric building Synopsis: Experts from Hoare Lea discuss the development of a bespoke sustainability approach to create an all-electric building that goes beyond energy targets. Discover how zero on-site carbon production was achieved using air source heat pump technology, alongside a project specific approach to wider sustainability issues, to ensure the best possible environment for people and planet. |

11:00 - 12:00 | Session G3: How Modern Methods of Construction can add value to HE developments Synopsis: The construction industry and education are both in a period of transformational change. The principals of standardised design, pre-manufactured value and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are quickly becoming key drivers in how projects in the education sector are designed, manufactured and assembled. This talk will introduce the background and terminology around MMC, explore how it can applied to modern education projects and discuss Curtins’ MMC Options Appraisal toolkit. The talk will also consider how design options can be compared to MMC categories, and how additional technologies can be integrated into traditional construction techniques to add value to the scheme. |

14:30 - 15:30 | Session H1: The Influence of the HE Built Environment on Student Outcomes Synopsis: In early 2021, Willmott Dixon, AUDE and HEDQF launched a major research project to examine the link between the HE built environment and student outcomes. This session will provide more information on the research project – its background, aims and how it will develop over the two-to-three year research period. The session will also invite feedback from attendees to support shaping the research at this early stage. |

14:30 - 15:30 | Session H2: Where Next for the Office? Synopsis: Mat will provide insights into how the commercial sector, including both landlords and tenants, is approaching the question of what to do with their office estates in a post-Covid world. He will explore the pace at which the commercial sector is approaching making decisions in this difficult area (and why) as organisations contemplate various versions of a 'return to the office'. He will provide examples of what is being done in practice and seek to draw out whether there are learnings for universities in the approach the commercial sector is taking to their office estates. |

16:00 - 17:00 | Workshop 9: Informing future-facing HE design Synopsis: The workshop draws from EDU’s current study for AUDE, and our respective specialisms in user engagement, progressive building services, and holistic architecture, to enhance user experience, reduce lifetime and operational carbon emissions, and provide relevant, quality design that offers value for money. Aimed at improving space utilisation and reducing carbon emissions on HE estates, the session will address the key topics of space utilisation, space management, and continuously optimising energy consumption to suit occupancy and function,the workshop invites participants to share your experience in harnessing more for less, whether by levelling up poorer space, exploiting residual space, managing space more productively, responding to the implications of technology for new modalities of teaching, learning and sociability, and / or meeting widely increased aspirations for wellbeing. The outcomes from the workshop will be used to prioritise the key topics in the EDU’s study for AUDE. While this scope is equally relevant to new build projects when these come on stream following post-Covid normalisation, the workshop is oriented to our near-term view to optimise existing campus provisions. The workshop will be led by the EDU’s principals from Make, ZZA Responsive User Environments and Max Fordham, but also harnesses inputs from our colleagues at Elliot Wood and Gustafson Porter + Bowman, with their respective foci on structure and landscaping, both highly pertinent to successful retrofitting buildings and external campus spaces. |

16:00 - 17:00 | Workshop 10: How the HE Climate Action Toolkit can help you build back better Synopsis: The Climate Commission for UK Higher and Further Education Students and Leaders recently launched the HE Climate Action Toolkit. You will hear from one of the authors, Jim Longhurst, on how the Toolkit can support universities further to take climate action and how to get buy-in at senior leadership and governor levels. Manveer will give a student perspective on why it is vital for universities to take action now to maintain a competitive edge in the sector. The pandemic has provided us with many challenges but now is the time to look at the opportunities on how universities can build back better. If you are planning to attend this session, please take a look at our toolkit in advance - https://www.eauc.org.uk/climate_action_toolkit. We would be happy to answer any queries you have during the session. |
