Learning CommonsPlanning
• What is going to happen in this space? List as many specific activities as you envision taking place in the new Learning Commons. • Describe the spaces and/or equipment that would
facilitate the activities you listed above. • Who are the stakeholders in the new Learning
Commons? How should it be planned and maintained? • Where should this Learning Commons be on campus?• Which specific elements are most crucial to CapU
students right now?

What are the potential problems or issues that implementing this model could cause?• moving away from traditional, faculty-
centred delivery models• collaboration across a wide range of
stakeholders can be more work• ??
