Display Spaces support and share the learning process by showcasing the conceptual development, learning activities, processes and finished products. The notion that this work is public and of other people having access to these products fosters a better quality of product and increased aspirations of participating students. It is a place to celebrates student’s work.
Display Spaces overlap with learning spaces, presentation spaces and even circulation spaces. They act as advertisements for the subject areas and are in fact a public validation of the learning process that is taking place.
Display Spaces should be a celebration of student’s work and of the student’s working. This should be designed as a welcoming area with spaces for seating and gathering or even watching students at work. Some innovative schools even have strategically placed windows into environments so the learning becomes a public activity.

Research results strongly indicates that the effect of complexity is curvilinear, such that high and low levels of complexity produced poorer learning conditions, whereas an intermediate level of visual complexity was optimal. The displays on walls should be designed to provide a lively sense to the classroom, but without becoming chaotic in feel. As a rule of thumb 20-50% of the available wall space should always be kept clear.
The Use of Colour
Colour psychologists have linked colour with brain development and the human transition from child to adult. Given it’s many impacts, appropriate colours can protect eyesight, create surroundings that are conducive to study and promote physical and mental health. These colour schemes are not measured by the criteria of beauty but rather by tangiable evidence.
