These new spaces invite you to experience and test new teaching, learning and working practices. They naturally encourage a change in learning and teaching posture, and the development of key skills in communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.

Spaces are designed for different uses but are interconnected. Innovative ideas can emerge in the Place, be debated in the Agora, be transformed into projects in the Lab, be communicated via the Studio and, why not, incubated at TBSeeds. In this way, each space supports and accelerates the key stages in the process of creativity and innovation, in synergy with a stimulating and responsible ecosystem.

The space is an innovative example of a space refurbished in a responsible way, with existing furniture reused, responsible reuse and overcycling by regional companies, for a positive CSR impact balance.

For instance:

• 14 tonnes of materials recycled
• 74% furniture reuse, 17% over-recycling and 9% responsible new items
• 14 partners, including 10 in Occitanie

The project was developed in consultation with our students, lecturers and teaching teams, through questionnaires and co-construction workshops. It continues to evolve on a daily basis, based on a “test & learn” approach with users.

In order to provide individualized support for each user and roll out a new range of services, these areas are run jointly by a cross-functional team:

• • The Pedagogy and Innovation team supports teachers and lecturers in instructional design and the development of innovative teaching methods.
• • The Entrepreneurship team supports entrepreneurs from the TBSeeds incubator
• • The DSI and Library team supports the use of digital technology and access to information and resources.
