Rethinking the way we use how we design our
space

• How might this space be designed to encourage
  students to spend more time studying and also be
  more productive?
• Should this space be designed for individual or
  collaborative learning (or both)?
• How might this space enrich the educational
  experience?
• What type of learning will take place to compel
  us to build space can we rely on a virtual
  alternative?
