"Smart" Spaces Aren't Just for Classrooms Anymore: Intentional Design Creates Casual Learning Opportunities on Today's Campuses
James, Darren L.; Infanzon, Nestor
Educational Facility Planner, v44 n4 p19-21 2010
Each educational environment exhibits a distinct personality that supports and influences the student body. As educational institutions develop new spaces and buildings for university and college campuses nationwide, the need increasingly arises to provide spaces that both help fulfill each school's educational mission and reinforce the vitality of campus life for both students and faculty. In order to provide such spaces, the authors suggest to consider the evolution of educational spaces. They point out that learning happens all around a person on campus, and does not just occur in a structured classroom setting.
