Certain aspects of the physical environment have been examined for decades, such as those that affect basic physiological needs including but not limited to climate control, air quality, appropriate lighting, and cleanliness. In addition to these needs, it is important to examine learning spaces in light of the changing pedagogies that teachers are being encouraged to employ with this current generation of students. Pedagogies are continually being added to and adapted; however, improvements in the physical environment are not always considered components of these curriculum adjustments. Without the proper facilities, teachers are limited in the pedagogical techniques they can utilize. As teachers are being required to differentiate teaching strategies, they need to be provided with the appropriate resources, including the most effective physical environments and classroom layouts and the training to use those spaces effectively. Continued studies are necessary to elucidate evidence for those aspects of the physical learning environment that are most effective for aiding in 21st century learning.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nResearch continues on what teaching methods are most effective and what the condition of the physical learning spaces have on the occupants. Research focused on both effective pedagogies and operational learning spaces could increase the likelihood of student success. This paper will look at the needs of 21st century learners and the changing teaching techniques being promoted to address those needs. The focus will then turn to the benefits of considering the learning spaces in conjunction with the needs of the students and the pedagogies that could be most beneficial to them.  \nEducational spaces are increasingly deemed as important to academic success (Cleveland & Fisher, 2014) . Evidence shows that educational building conditions affect student and teacher performance and behavior (Cash, 1993; Earthman & Lemasters, 2011; Lemasters, 1997; Uline, Wolsey, Tschannen-Moran, & Lin, 2010) . Such evidence supports Maslow’s (1943) theory of motivation, in that, until certain conditions and physiological needs are met the impulse to learn becomes of secondary importance. A study from Finland demonstrates that even students recognize these basic needs must be taken care of before they can focus on learning (Makela, Kankaaranta, & Helfenstein, 2014) . Even though such studies that examine the fundamental needs of school occupants may continue to contribute to the literature, studies that investigate specific features of learning environments that support modern pedagogical techniques could fill a gap that currently exists. The value of including available educational facilities in curriculum considerations raises awareness of how classroom design encourages or inhibits teachers’ choices and abilities to utilize a variety of pedagogies.  \nThe changes in pedagogies are critical because secondary students, sometimes referred to as millennials, are no longer learning effectively from simply reading materials and receiving lectures (Elmore, 2010) . Teacher-centric lessons are being phased out and classrooms designed for such teaching strategies no longer provide the best learning environments. Put another way, as teachers are encouraged to update pedagogies to be more student-centric, classrooms need to be adapted to allow for such changes.  \nStudies that examine teaching techniques other than the traditional teacher-centric methodologies have provided evidence that students can, at times, demonstrate significant improvements in their academic success when being taught by a variety of methods (Caballero et al., 2014) . Studies that investigate the effective pedagogies as well as relevant physical environments for ","cbCaihSzBQwUUTk3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihSzBQwUUTk3","pdf",363621,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Physical environment and student learning\n## Rationale for classroom adaptation\n## Evidence-based planning of pedagogies and spaces\n# Cost and evaluation of facility improvements\n## Assessing learning environments for pedagogy","[{\"question\":\"How do physical learning conditions affect teaching and learning?\",\"answer\":\"The document cites evidence that educational building conditions influence student and teacher performance and behavior.
