Hear what people think

  • Thank you once again to Learning Places Scotland for another fantastic, well organised and well attended event! We had a very successful day renewing acquaintances and making new contacts.

  • I really enjoyed hearing the comparisons and contrasts between the schools’ programmes in Scotland and England at LPS 2025, and it was good to hear that best practice is being shared across the border. On the HE front, sustainability again took centre stage during the one of the sessions, with a growing understanding that space (estate) rationalisation needs to go hand-in-hand with change management. It will be interesting to hear at future conferences how this aspect of change in HE plays out.

  • Attending the Learning Places Conference was a valuable and reflective experience. The speakers exploring the concept of the Inclusive Estate, particularly in relation to Additional Support Needs, offered thoughtful and insightful perspectives. The sessions encouraged reflection on how learning environments can better support all users and will positively influence my approach to future projects.
