Conceiving and creating a new learning space could be viewed as an opportunity, or a challenge, or perhaps both. This could be your chance to develop an innovative space to help students learn and to help faculty teach. On the other hand, this “opportunity” could become a mixture of competing interests and ineffective committees complemented by a seemingly endless sea of architects, consultants, contractors, and administrators, all with divergent points of view and visions. . . In the middle of this universe of constituents, you have the task of bringing a team together to create a learning space that is effective, sustainable, and scalable.
