CeAL Building

CeAL's Building

The Centre for Active Learning Building

‘learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience’
(Kolb, 1984, p38).

The CeAL building is designed to provide a focus and an active resource for support and encouragement for innovation and research into active learning.

Support for active learning

The CeAL building provides a variety of spaces designed to support the development of ‘capable and enthusiastic active learners’ and will endeavour to provide or encourage the following:

• Collaborative, innovative and social learning
• Flexible environment for students and staff
• Student-owned space
• Contemporary and technologically rich environment
• Self-supporting in layout and management, encouraging students to use the space independently and responsibly, encouraged by clear signposting and information both within the building and on the website
• Supporting diversity of student groups in terms of access and learning styles

The CeAL building is designed as three separate zones, one on each floor to achieve the greatest flexibility.
