Looking at complex spaces

I'm about to start a new research project working with Dr Paul Warwick (also in the School of Education) and the Stduents' Union at Leicester. We are trying to understand the use students make of the various spaces they inhabit whilst studying at the university. Obviously, they use a number of spaces during a typical week, including managed spaces such as lecture theatres and labs, but also many other spaces (both physical and virtual) such as bedrooms, cafes, libraries etc. We will try to find out which spaces are important, and the types of activities which go on there, including the use of technology.
