Library Consultant Brief Sept 2014
Herman Miller
The learning commons should motivate and promote learning as an activity, supporting collaborative as well as quiet study. It should provide a personalized and inclusive environment and be flexible in the face of changing needs.
Flexible – to accommodate a variety of learning spaces, meetings and special events. Future-proofed – to enable the space to be re-allocated and reconfigured. Bold – to look beyond traditional delivery of library content. Creative – to energize and inspire students, faculty and researchers. Supportive – to support the science of learning. Transparent – to sustain clear and observable learning activities.
The Learning Commons will include research spaces that contributes to:
