Guides 

AMA's Guide to Successful Interaction has been written to highlight the key importance of interaction spaces in workplace design, and draws on the research findings to emerge from WorkWare CONNECT, a tool launched by AMA in 2009.

AMA has recently published AMA-ZED: School design from A-Z. This tool has been designed to help generate ideas about school aspirations and the way in which school buildings and grounds can help to deliver an educational vision.

Over the last eighteen years AMA has collected data from over 60,000 people and 250 buildings including public and corporate offices and learning environments. The newsletter, WorkWare Nexus, has been launched to disseminate AMA’s latest findings on occupant behaviour, space use and building requirements.

Joanna Eley completed post occupancy evaluations of one hundred recently completed SureStart nurseries on behalf of CABE and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

Joanna has also written guidance on achieving design quality in fire and rescue service buildings for the Department for Communities and Local Government.
