This project explores the transformation of an underused self-service facility into a collaborative learning space focused on faculty engagement. By gathering needs assessments from various stakeholders, including faculty, IT staff, and administrators, we identified key design principles that prioritize accessibility and user-friendliness. The new design emphasizes intentional layouts that support collaborative learning, showcase faculty work, and create an inviting atmosphere. Our goal is to redefine the space as a valuable resource for faculty, fostering enhanced learning experiences through innovative design strategies.
