Abstract
Colleagues often ask, ‘what is The Learning Grid?’
and ‘why is it different?’ The following article
aims to highlight the unique elements of this
library facility and also to present some of the
key areas of development that continue to evolve
since its opening in September 2004.
The Learning Grid was designed and is managed
by the University Library. This meant that the
University Librarian had direct input into the
design and concept for the space that measures
approximately 1350m². Because the space was
identified as an opportunity to provide students
at Warwick with a unique learning experience, the
need to work in collaboration with other support
services was essential in exploring the aims
and objectives of this facility, as well as its design.
Architects from MacCormack, Jamieson, Prichard
(MJP), London, were integral to the development
process, ensuring that draft designs reflected the
evolving concepts for the purpose of the space
and activities that would take place within it.
