In Sync: Environmental Behavior Research and the Design of Learning Spaces—
In Sync, by Lennie Scott-Webber, is currently the best-selling book in SCUP's higher education planning library, with many campus leaders
ordering multiple copies for sharing in various committees and planning groups. Scott-Webber took what used to "sit on shelves in the ivory halls of academe" and
has applied it to the physical design of interior learning spaces. Her work is shared in this elegant book with clear and over-sized diagrams and charts.

"Overall I'd say this book is right on target. It has just enough theory to provide context to the multiple graphic examples of various learning environments. I plan to
use this book with my academic deans as we forecast future instructional space needs."

Learning Space Factors Report, 2008 (PDF)
Learn the results of a major survey on the key factors driving learning spaces. What do students think is the most valuable consideration in physical learning spaces, and if learning can happen anywhere-what would the most valuable aspect of campus learning spaces be? The survey takes a qualitative approach to give insight into these and other questions to inform your planning initiatives.
