The Learning Commons
Review photographs of the new spaces.
The Learning Commons (LC) is an exciting new center for creativity, research, and collaboration on NC State's campus. This state-of-the-art learning space is designed for individual and group work, inspiration and socializing, research, and relaxation. The 14,000-square-foot Learning Commons supports all of these activities by integrating cutting-edge technology, learning space design principles, and improved access to information resources. Students have played an integral role in shaping today's LC and will continue to inform and help envision the future of this vibrant learning space in the coming months and years.
NC State students were involved in each step of planning for the Learning Commons, offering ideas for space design, software and equipment, and services. Student focus groups and lunch meetings, conducted in 2005, 2006, and 2007, solicited student opinions and perspectives. Student members of the University Library Committee (ULC) gave ongoing input, and a standing ULC student LC subcommittee was created to ensure ongoing feedback and discussion.
