Transforming Underused Facilities into Engaging Learning Spaces

This project focuses on redesigning underused self-service facilities into dynamic learning environments. Our needs assessment considered input from faculty, staff, and administration to create user-friendly and collaborative spaces. The redesign emphasizes accessibility for all, including those with physical challenges, and aims to enhance faculty engagement. By intentionally shifting focus from technology to learning, we envision a space that showcases faculty work, fosters collaboration, and feels inviting. Ultimately, our goal is to redefine the purpose and use of this facility to better support educational goals.
