Seven Principles for Classroom Design: The Learning Space Rating System

The Learning Space Rating System is one of the resources available in the Toolkits/Benchmarking section of this site.    It allows institutions to score a formal classroom’s design to see how well it supports active learning, though assessing the performance of the space needs to be undertaken separately (after all, “a classroom could be well equipped and laid out to support active learning, but there’s nothing to prevent the instructor from teaching in the transmission style via lecture”).

If you would like a quick overview of the LSRS and its seven principles, have a read of this recent EDUCAUSE Review article.
