Artificial intelligence is poised to fundamentally transform the design of learning environments, presenting new opportunities for education facilities leaders to create spaces that are more adaptable and aligned with contemporary instructional needs. As AI technology evolves beyond traditional Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled classrooms, it is becoming a pivotal driver of smarter, more innovative educational spaces across campuses.
Set to take place on March 11, 2026, at 11 a.m. PT, a forthcoming webcast will delve into how AI is shaping learning space design from both facilities and infrastructure perspectives. Moderated by Craig Park, Director of Digital Experience Design and Associate Principal at Clark & Enersen, the event will feature a panel of experts who will discuss the implications of AI in education technology.
The panel will include Byron Tarry, Founder and Chief Transformation Officer at NEXXT; Joe Way, Co-Founder of HETMA and Executive Director of Digital Spaces at the University of California, Los Angeles; and Andrew Vogel, Communications Chair of HETMA and Instructional Design Specialist at The Ohio State University. The discussion aims to explore emerging use cases for AI in educational settings, particularly how it can support new pedagogical models and enhance overall learning experiences.
One of the significant advantages of integrating AI into learning space design is the technology’s ability to adapt in real-time to the needs of both educators and students. For instance, AI systems can analyze data from usage patterns, allowing institutions to modify layouts and resources dynamically based on instructional methods and learner preferences. This capability not only optimizes the physical environment but also fosters a collaborative learning atmosphere that can improve educational outcomes.
The panelists are expected to share practical guidance on the implementation, integration, and scalability of AI-driven solutions in educational facilities. This practical approach is increasingly critical as institutions look to future-proof their spaces amid rapidly evolving teaching methodologies and learning technologies.
As AI continues to reshape various sectors, its impact on education is particularly noteworthy. The infusion of intelligent systems into learning environments not only streamlines operational efficiencies but also enhances accessibility for diverse student populations. A well-designed learning space, informed by AI analytics, can cater to a wide range of learning styles and needs, ultimately fostering a more inclusive educational ecosystem.
Participants in the webcast will receive a certificate of attendance, which can serve as a testament to their engagement with cutting-edge discussions surrounding AI and education. The event promises to be an invaluable opportunity for education leaders to gather insights and strategies that could determine the future of learning environments.
As institutions prepare to embrace these advancements, the dialogue on AI’s role in transforming educational spaces highlights a broader trend toward innovation in academia. Understanding the nuances of this transformation will be essential for leaders looking to leverage technology effectively to enhance learning experiences in their institutions.
