Brief description The recent raft of educational capital works projects in Australia have developed a wide range of '21stC' learning environments. As yet there is little rigorous evidence attesting to the efficacy of which learning environments are the more appropriate for 21stC pedagogy in a digital and knowledge age. This study will use three multidisciplinary approaches to post-occupancy evaluation to challenge assumptions regarding technology-enhanced learning environments. The focus will be on the links between space and pedagogy, evaluating the effectiveness of differing designs in improving student behaviours, engagement and learning outcomes in senior secondary and the transition to higher educational sectors.
