Thesis: S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, 2015. / Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. / Includes bibliographical references (page 39). / Classroom design has been ever changing, attempting to keep up with the new ideas about education and learning. As we learn more and more about how children learn, we adapt our learning styles with this new knowledge. Architecture is something that is meant to last for a while since construction costs of buildings are so expensive. Because our buildings are changing slower than our learning styles, we are currently having to spend large amounts of money on retrofits to buildings that aren't the best fit. This thesis is a look into the history behind how schools have changed in America and an analysis of a few schools in San Diego that are stuck thirty years behind the times. It takes the pros and cons of these schools and proposes a new way to look at school design for the future. / by Brianna Coston. / S.B.
