The Bolonia process and the development of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) motivated a deep change in the teaching-learning process which has pushed for new teaching methodologies as well as for the development of transversal competences (e.g. leadership, team building).New teaching approaches and new competences require new learning spaces. However, the classroom has not experienced any significant change.Within this context, this paper will present the preliminary results of an experience developed at the School of Civil Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica de València in Spain, where a traditional classroom is being transformed to create a new inspiring space that promotes the acquisition of both specific and transversal competences. The new classroom, which has been named as the "aula del futuro" (classroom of the future), has been designed with a bottom to top process.Results show that accessibility, flexibility of the space and the use of natural light are the most valued classroom requirements and that it is also important for the students to have a welcoming area at the classroom entrance as well as a leisure zone to promote relaxation and reflection. The paper will present the results of all the classroom definition process and the details of the implemented classroom design.
