I am very pleased to share this announcement with you. The Learning Spaces Collaboratory (LSC) has compiled a terrific guide, replete with examples, photos, and essays that they are making freely available to the community. I am on the advisory group of the LSC and have a brief essay in the guide.
Many of you who are involved in space planning will find the Institutional Profiles section especially interesting. Each example highlights a new or renovated campus facility and describes what the institution envisioned for its learners in a broad sense (“What do we want our learners to become?”); what experiences make that becoming happen; what spaces enable those experiences; and how we know that our goals have been achieved, the aspect that particularly addresses assessment.
