This ebook might be useful reading - it has info about the design of physical and virtual spaces - exploring learner expectations, teaching approaches and technolgoy.

Space, whether physical or virtual, can have a significant impact on learning. Learning Spaces focuses on how learner expectations influence such spaces, the principles and activities that facilitate learning, and the role of technology from the perspective of those who create learning environments: faculty, learning technologists, librarians, and administrators. Information technology has brought unique capabilities to learning spaces, whether stimulating greater interaction through the use of collaborative tools, videoconferencing with international experts, or opening virtual worlds for exploration. This e-book represents an ongoing exploration as we bring together space, technology, and pedagogy to ensure learner success. ©2006 EDUCAUSE ISBN 0-9672853-8-0

This infokit (Infokit is the name of JISC's resource collections) about 'Learning Spaces' should be useful.

JISC (The Joint Information Systems Committee) have quality information which promotes good practice and highlights innovation. This site has lots of resources and case studies related to 'Planning and Designing Technology-Rich Learning Spaces'.

a weblog devoted to the future of design, tracking the innovations in technology, practices and materials that are pushing architecture and home design towards a smarter and more sustainable future.

I think this might be useful for information about 'how different spaces can support different kinds of learning, and ways in which technology can be used to enhance learning spaces.'
