Classroom of the Future in London, United Kingdom

March 09, 2011 Category: Education, Public Buildings

Designed by Gollifer Langston, Classroom of the Future is located in London, United Kingdom. The proposal for the Classroom of the Future was to create a prototype highly ICT resourced demountable “clip-on” classroom for use throughout Camden to optimise investment and availability to a wide group of school children. It is now a fully transportable space that provides music and film making facilities to secondary children in Camden.

The classroom arrives onsite as an enclosed box. Computer control systems activate hydraulic legs that position the container onto the ground, and allow sections of the wall and roof to expand and open. The side wall of the container also opens out to enable an external audience to view films on a (small cinema sized) monitor from within the shell. Therefore the classroom is not only a learning environment; it is also a presentational facility.
