THE CHANGING NATURE OF
CAMPUS SPACES
• Colleges and universities investing in
existing spaces
• Library spaces repurposed
• Growing digital collections
• Shared/high density storage
• Classroom/learning space transformations
THE CHANGING NATURE OF
CAMPUS SPACES
• How can institutions learn from each other? What types of comparisons and benchmarking can we derive?
• How can we use and analyze visual evidence effectively? What are some useful analytical approaches?
• How can facilities data help us tell our story and inform future renovation/construction?
THE CHANGING NATURE OF
CAMPUS SPACES
• ARL Facilities Inventory
• Comparing and analyzing visual data
• FLEXSpace
• Learning Space Rating System
