Designing Smarter Places of Learning
Considerations for efficient design of learning environments using structural steel
Sponsored by New Millennium Building Systems
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the advantages of an open floor plan in the design of spaces that are flexible and adaptive.
- Explain the importance of acoustical design in learning environments.
- List criteria for both the selection of building materials and structural layout to optimize a building’s efficiency and sustainability.
- Summarize substrate and coating options for holistic floor and ceiling system designs.
