Some of the committee members were fortunate enough to go to UMKC where they have built a Learning Commons of their own, although they call it an Information Commons. The primary difference between theirs and the one we’re planning (aside from size) is that they are just now starting to integrate all of the services we plan to integrate from the beginning. Below, you’ll see some of the pictures that were taken during the trip.
In particular, I think it’s worth noting how they incorporated lighting and color to make an inviting space.
Hopefully these pictures will give us a good idea of what kind of feel and presence that our Learning Commons can have.
