Innovation Lab

From classroom to working prototype.

An innovation environment designed to make R&D legible — where ideas move from sketch to prototype in a spatial sequence visitors can follow without a lab tour guide.

02 The challenge

02 The challenge

The classroom needed to become a working prototype.

The classroom needed to become a working prototype.

The space had to move beyond passive instruction and help learners explore, test, build, and explain ideas through action.

The space had to move beyond passive instruction and help learners explore, test, build, and explain ideas through action.

03 The response

We turned learning into a spatial experience.

Clarify

Make the purpose of the lab easy to understand.

Activate

Give learners places to test, build, discuss, and refine ideas.

Demonstrate

Make process, progress, and outcomes visible inside the space.

04 Experience journey

The space had to make learning feel active from the first moment.

01

Arrival

Set the tone for exploration and experimentation.

02

Orientation

Help learners understand the tools, zones, and possibilities.

03

Exploration

Create areas for observation, research, and early ideation.

04

Prototyping

Support making, testing, iteration, and peer collaboration.

05

Sharing

Give learners a way to explain what they built and what they learned.

05 What we built

A space where ideas could become visible.

Every layer was designed to support curiosity, collaboration, and applied learning.

  • 01 / Decode

    Discovery zones

    Created areas for research, prompts, references, and inspiration.

  • 01 / Decode

    Prototyping tables

    Supported making, testing, peer review, and group work.

  • 01 / Decode

    Display and pin-up areas

    Made work-in-progress visible to teachers, peers, and visitors.

  • 01 / Decode

    Flexible learning layout

    Allowed the room to shift between instruction, collaboration, and presentation.

  • 01 / Decode

    Identity and atmosphere

    Used visual cues, material direction, and spatial rhythm to make the lab feel distinct from a regular classroom.

06 REDSxP™ LAYERS

Six layers. One learning environment.

The project was shaped through strategy, story, technology, craft, psychology, and performance.

Strategy

Defined the role of the lab in the learning journey.

Storytelling

Turned the idea of innovation into a clear spatial sequence.

Technology

Supported research, demonstration, presentation, and applied learning where useful.

Craft

Used layout, material, light, and detail to make the space feel active and credible.

Psychology

Designed for curiosity, participation, attention, and confidence.

Performance

Set the lens for engagement, collaboration, and applied understanding.

07 Outcome

The lab made ideas easier to test and explain.

The value of the environment was judged by how well it supported participation, experimentation, and visible learning.

  • Student engagement
    Learners had more reasons to participate actively.

  • Collaboration
    The space encouraged group work, discussion, and shared progress.

  • Applied learning
    Ideas could move from instruction to prototype.

  • Presentation confidence
    Learners had a clearer setting to explain their process and outcomes.

Where ideas become easier to test.
The lab changed how our learners engage. Ideas moved from classroom discussion into visible prototypes, and that shift made the learning real.
