NexoUFU: Um ambiente de colaboração acadêmica

Abstract

The work explores in detail the importance and benefits of collaborative spaces not only in productivity, but also in the well-being of users. The relevance of these spaces to the university environment is highlighted, highlighting their ability to promote academic development and interaction between students from different areas. The fundamental characteristics of these environments are analyzed, such as flexibility, comfort, spatial characteristics and the ability to promote collaboration effectively. Furthermore, research is presented that proves the positive impacts of these spaces on the quality of life of professionals who work in collaborative environments, as well as case studies of projects implemented in universities that follow these principles and their impact on student well-being. Based on this context, strategies for planning and effectively implementing an academic collaboration environment at the Federal University of Uberlândia are discussed, taking into account the needs and expectations of the academic community. Based on this context, the idea of developing a project for an academic collaboration space on the Santa Mônica campus of the Federal University of Uberlândia was conceived, inspired by the characteristics of collaborative workspace and using a Design methodology known as "Double Diamond". The project was designed to meet the needs and expectations of the academic community, with the aim of creating a flexible environment that offers suitable work spaces for both individuals and groups, as well as areas dedicated to relaxation and socialization. This environment seeks to promote interaction and collaboration between members of the academic community, encouraging the exchange of ideas and teamwork, not only facilitating the completion of academic tasks, but also promoting an inspiring environment that stimulates the personal and professional growth of everyone involved.
