What is the WOW factor of your research?
10 Apr 2025
The mission of our Mayfielders?
to flip the script on how we design and measure learning environments,
and reimagine what success really looks like.
In this video, hear from our Mayfielders as they reveal some of the BIG ideas behind their research. For too long, post-occupancy evaluation has been an afterthought. Too late. Too vague. Too focused on buildings - not the people in them.
Forget box-ticking evaluations that happen before construction or long after the learning begins. Expect bold thinking, practical insights, and a whole lot of WOW when they take the stage for their Friday morning keynote at the LEA 3001: A Learning Space Odyssey conference,
Be there to witness ideas that challenge assumptions, spark debate, and reshape the future of learning environments. Watch. Share. Let the curiosity ripple through your networks.
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.
