The Library as integrated learning space
The Blakeslee Library Campaign
J
oin us as we re-purpose a portion of the Blakeslee Library and create our Learning Commons to compliment the recently completed I.D. Lab and Makerspace that is now part of the STEAM program in the expanded Blakeslee Library. We are already well on our way toward our $300,000 goal, but we need your valued support. Library design should “incorporate a deeper understanding of the independent, active learning behaviors of students and the teaching strategies
of faculty meant to support those behaviors.� Learning Commons are learning spaces, that share space for information technology, remote or online education, tutoring, collaboration, content creation, meetings, reading or study. Students have natural abilities to use emerging technology and when used in conjunction with our adjoining Makerspace, students immerse themselves in research, critical thinking, innovation and authentic learning.
