		<title>Principles of Spaces for Active and Collaborative Learning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the first meeting of the Reference group we have been able to formulate a number of key principles. There was general endorsement of the following principles: 
1. Importance of withholding 15% of building budget to modify and adjust spaces after construction. 
2. Learning space designs must be context-specific.
3. Spaces should be &#8216;future proofed&#8217; and non-deterministic: that [...]]]></description>
