Info Commons Project Documents

David from the InfoCommons and Beyond blog has posted a link to some interesting documentation from Georgia Tech. The documents seem to be a few years old, but they still provide some good insights:
The good folks at Georgia Tech have posted a very useful set of documents on planning and assessment: focus groups, questionnaires, a case study by Herman Miller, and fascinating essay by freshman Erica Hocking on the the Commons as a "Sacred Space" for learning.
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the InfoCommons and Beyond blog--the sidebar contains lots of links to commons spaces around the world, as well as relevant reading, presentations, and other documents.

Thank you for your blog! I am an Interior Design student at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. Every year we compete in the Interior Design Educators Council's Student Design competition. This year the theme is a learning commons. Your blog was a helpful resource during the research process. You should keep an eye out for the results of the competition this year, they will be posted on the IDEC's website at: http://www.idec.org/awards/student_design.php
