20. INTERVIEWS – WHAT HAVE WE HEARD Many classrooms are undersized Strong preference for enclosed, private offices Inadequacy of adjunct offices Inadequacy of instructor/student meeting space Lack of conference rooms

21. TRENDS IN LEARNING SPACE DESIGN

22. Need for classrooms with flexible layout

23. VS Create variety of interaction spaces

24. VS Make building entrances destinations

25. COLLABORATIVE SPACE VS Flexible Faculty Meeting Space

26. CAMPUS WIDE GUIDING PRINCIPLES Focus place-based learning on the primacy of interaction: faculty/student, student/student, faculty/faculty, faculty/staff, staff/students Provide centralized resources for learning, to complement distributed resources Offer comprehensive student services Create a work-oriented place-based community Make the campus a cherished resource, a real destination, rather than a perfunctory experience, for commuter students Allow less frequent visits to campus to become more meaningful (and reduce carbon footprint!)
