MacMillan Learning Offices

New Cutting-edge Office Space

MacMillan Learning is a 32,000 sq. ft. interior office finish out in Austin which includes a learning lab, executive offices, game rooms, conference rooms, and a kitchen. This learning lab is the first in a series of new labs that will enable learning researchers and human-centered designers to co-design and iteratively test with students and instructors to create learning products that are highly usable and highly impactful. The lab comprises an adjoining observation room, remote broadcast capabilities, and usability software. It is also designed to support neurological and biometrics technology and will expand to enable researchers to study affective, cognitive, and physiological responses to product designs. To meld the team's innovative, technical culture with a collegiate ethos, the workplace is well-organized and highly functional to support the development of learning tools. Simple forms and a primarily earth-toned palette with pops of color create warmth, while custom-milled bookshelves are used as focal points throughout the space. Areas for collaboration, focus, and celebration are incorporated to reinforce the unity and synergy of Macmillan’s diverse talent.
