In order to ensure strategic alignment with all stakeholders, our campus embarked on a project to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of existing spaces through the Learning Space Rating System (LSRS), and researched solutions from other campuses using the Flexible Learning Environments eXchange (FLEXspace). We are using these tools to guide faculty requests for learning space upgrades and justify purchasing decisions.
During this mini-workshop, participants will learn how to access the tools we used for planning (LSRS and FLEXspace) and discuss how to participate in the community of universities using these toolsets.
