16Vertical Learning Spaces Vertical Learning With a growing population, space is at a premium, and changing pedagogical models, Australia’s traditional school designs are being redefined for a new age. In contrast to the schools we’ve been designing for decades, vertical schools are generally more than four stories high and are often in dense urban areas. These vertical schools accommodate the full range of teaching, administration, and recreational facilities that schools need. However, a vertical school’s outdoor spaces flow onto rooftops, terraces, and ground-level courtyards. Architects are mindful to create meaningful and varied indoor and outdoor learning environments with distinct paths of travel between them, allowing for social connectivity and exercise. Given their central urban locations, the school facilities are often accessible to the community, providing a sense of connectedness with the local area. Furniture in vertical schools is a key feature and needs to be robust and transitional between indoor and outdoors.
