Converting AH-1109
Applying learning space design principles to a real-world problem
Background
Underused and undervalued resource Currently a self-service facility Current users Equipment most frequently used
Parscore/Scantron Laminate machine PC usage
Needs Assessment
Several perspectives and stakeholders considered Current Faculty
“I used it once and then I never had to again.”
ITS Staff Administrators Physical Plant
Design Concept
Our vision It’s not about the Technology!
It’s about Learning! Support and enhance faculty learning User friendly and collaborative space More accessible to physically challenged Engage faculty
Floor Plan
Key
Chair – Table – Worksurface – Computer Monitor – SMARTBoard – Sympodium – Projector Screen –
Design Rationale
Learning Principle Application
Collaborative, Active Multiple, Flexible (movable) tables and chairs; wireless access
Supportive “IT Evangalists” not Technicians (redesigning their job function)
Multiple Learning Paths and Resources
Job aids, Training videos, support staff, Calender of Training events
Design RationaleEncourages Discovery Training videos, Showcase
of Faculty work, Calender of events
Engagement (Interactivity) Smart Board usage, Podium, DocuCamera
Environmental Factors Light/Bright colors, mottled carpet squares, comfortable furniture, improved lighting
Conclusion
Old Focus Originally repair area Evolved over time Disorganized Room purpose not defined Not used to full potential
Conclusion
New Focus Intentional design Seen as a learning space Worthwhile for faculty to visit Leading edge of technology Showcases faculty work Comfortable and inviting Stresses collaborative learning
