Reimagining the Future Campus: Creative, Connected and Data-Driven

12 Nov 2026
Stage 3

What will the future campus look like? As learner expectations, technology and educational delivery models continue to evolve, institutions are rethinking how learning environments can better support creativity, collaboration, engagement and innovation.

This session explores that journey, beginning with the Creative Campus initiative, led by DFHERIS and Maynooth University in collaboration with the further and higher education sector, which is examining how creativity can be embedded across campuses through learning environments, facilities, culture and community engagement. The discussion then turns to how virtual and physical learning environments can work together to create more flexible, connected and inclusive educational experiences. Finally, delegates will discover how data-driven design and emerging technologies are helping institutions optimise and shape the next generation of learning spaces.

Together, these presentations demonstrate how innovation is transforming the way education environments are conceived, experienced and delivered, helping to create more engaging, adaptable and future-ready campuses.
