Adaptable

Formal learning spaces that adapt to and even take advantage of tomorrow's changes create new opportunities and increase the effectiveness of the space.

Social

A key indicator of student success is engagement. Formal learning spaces that foster peer-to-peer and student-faculty interactions increase the level of students' participation and the odds of their success.
