    The Future Proofing Schools Research Team has been delighted with the response to the Design Ideas Competition. We congratulate the winners but also thank the many entrants who, while not named for an award, have contributed the inspiring ideas that you will and within this publication. The Australian Research Council has made this Design Ideas Competition possible by providing ARC Linkage funding for the years 2010 until 2012. While no ARC funding has gone into prize money, the funding has been crucial for the research phases preceding and following the competition stage.

    Future Proofing Schools The Phase 1 Research Compilation

    Future Proofing Schools is an Australian Research Council funded research project that is working with six education departments across Australia and other Industry Partners to re-vitalise ‘relocatable classrooms’ as 21st century learning spaces. Our research suggests that we have an unprecedented opportunity to benefit from a range of ‘tipping points’ in sustainable school design, 21st century pedagogies and emergent technologies in manufacturing that will allow us to transform the notion of the relocatable classroom.
