We thought that we would put all this research into practice. We decided to come up with a design ourselves. Below is the classroom we designed that would enhance student centered learning. 
Here's the thought process behind the design:
There should be a teacher's area close to the door and across the room. This area would be for teachers to pull small groups. The teacher needs to be able to still have eyes on the other students that are not in the small group.
The rug learning area needs to be close to the TV/teaching wall. This is where the teacher can have morning message and whole group lesson.
The word wall is purposefully over the library. This way if a student wants to remember how to spell a word, they know exactly where to go to figure out. The teacher can also infer to the word wall.
The students are to sit at tables instead of desk to help with collaboration. 
We were also mindful of keeping the high traffic areas free of congestion. 
The material that are used often are located in a place where the students have easy access.
We decided to have two safe spaces where students can take a break as they need it.
On the walls, we decided to have learning strategies on the walls where the students can refer to them as needed. Also on the walls, we have the students work instead of your typical decoration.
