why this as a ‘bricks & bytes’ topic
- increasing competitiveness- shifting student culture- evolving, ‘student –centered’ pedagogy- evolving technology for 3rd nature users
with design implications
student involvement in design process

changing expectations
much talk about the upcoming (Gen Y) generation
- learning is a social activity- highly connected- short on time – want it now / personally
convenient- technology goes beyond 2nd nature- used to being competed for- highly collaborative / seek peer learning- increasingly mobile- expect greater faculty contact
design implications?
average law school has grown from 140 nsf/fte in 1993 to 170nsf/fte in 2004
obviously not all students (lots of books and faculty too)
more space per student – examples:-classrooms (up from 16-18sf to 30+sf per student)-group study -career services-law review / law journal equity-student lounges (often regained)-food service/ coffee
other design occurrences - higher floor to floor heights for taller screens
for legibility of comparative text as digital use is pushed more rapidly by students
- increase in help desks for student digital tools
other emerging competitive moves:- health clubs / exercise rooms- daycare - housing

food service
area for seating – approx. 15sf per personarea for service/kitchen/storage 40%, seating 60%
(seating based on ½ hr of lunches served) more seating can be added for other purposes
food service
area for seating – approx. 15sf per personarea for service/kitchen/storage 40%, seating 60%
(for basic calculations - seating based on ½ hr of lunches served -- more seating can be added for other purposes )
vending
less now that food/coffee service is being kept open longer.
at NYLS, 8-9 vending machines for 1,000 fte the break point before vending starts to be subsidized
at CUA, 4 vending machines for 850 fte
