Science Labs of the Future
This Teachers TV video explores the design process involved in the building of new science laboratories, with a particular focus on Project Faraday which has teamed schools with architects and designers to explore how science teaching spaces can be used differently. School science laboratories have changed little in the past 60 years. The programme follows three schools at different stages of redesigning their labs.
Estover Community College in Plymouth is about to undergo major redevelopment. At Hartcliffe College in Bristol, major building work has just begun on a new campus. Head of science Simon Thompson explains how he involved students in the design consultation process and reveals a few of the planned features of the new facilities. Teachers at Brunel Academy in Bristol, the flagship development of the national Building Schools for the Future project, explain the impact of the new laboratories on teaching and learning.
