2. Broader Context

3. Opportunity - Moved from content to
content + creativity
“The most important factor to the
design of the Hunt Library at NCSU is
the new relationship between the
library and the faculty member.” –
Michael Young, Computer Science, NC
State.

4. Opportunities
Re-connect faculty and
students with library spaces –
chain of engagement and
creativity
Incubate emerging
technologies
Enhanced hands-on learning
and engagement
Creative pedagogy
Showcase for student and
faculty work
Provide platform for programs
and workshops

5. Most Significant Opportunity
Create experiential library for experiential learning.
As delivery of core curriculum and foundational learning increasingly moves online and
asynchronous – library becomes a platform for deeper learning and a distinguishing
part of the educational experience for the university.
