What if success in learning environments wasn’t an endpoint……but an ongoing process of engagement?

09 Apr 2025

In this clip, meet the bold 2025 Mayfield cohort as they answer the question:
“Why is your research so important?"

Trust us - their answers will shift your thinking

Join us on the final frontier of LEA 3001: A Learning Space Odyssey conference, Friday 9 May, as the 2025 Mayfield Project 2025 present their powerful, thought provoking keynote that reframes how we design and evaluate learning spaces - from the inside out. These Mayfielders are asking:

What if we embedded continuous feedback loops into the design process?

What if teachers, students, and communities helped define success — on their terms?

And what if evaluation was actually quick, easy, and impactful?

Whether you're an architect, educator, or just curious about the future of learning — this is the presentation you don’t want to miss.

The Mayfield Project is LEA’s biennial research initiative for emerging professionals - a collective of 16 rising stars in education and design who’ve come together to challenge the status quo and reimagine what it means for a space to be successful.

Forget box-ticking evaluations that happen before construction or long after the learning begins.

Watch. Share. Tag your colleagues..........This is the kind of research that deserves to go galactic.
