We are now seeking feedback from Homewood faculty, staff, and students to refine the DRAFT Learning Environment Guidelines. Your feedback will help refine and finalize this framework, ensuring Homewood’s learning spaces continue to support excellence in learning and teaching innovation. If you would like to request a meeting or presentation about the guidelines from the Johns Hopkins Facilities and Real Estate team, please contact Sally Chinnis ([email protected]).
View the draft guidelines above, then submit your feedback during our open comment period until Friday, April 25th using the appropriate link below.
The Learning Environment Guidelines establish a shared vision for academic spaces on the Homewood campus. They will serve as a flexible roadmap for the design of new and renovated classrooms.
Developed over the past six months with input from faculty, students, and various campus groups—and informed by national best practices—they outline key principles and design standards the support adaptable, technology-enhanced, sustainable, and inclusive learning environments
These guidelines are not prescriptive, rather they set baseline expectations for classroom capability and performance to promote consistency across learning spaces, while enabling dynamic, modern teaching practices that enhance both faculty and student experiences. They help ensure that, as resources become available, future improvements align with evolving teaching and learning needs and the university’s Ten for One goals.
Although designed for the Homewood campus, these guidelines may also serve as a useful resource for other Johns Hopkins campuses.
