• quiet study space
• individual rooms - i think the ones that we lose from the 4th floor should go on the this floor
• graduate study area
• Ellis collection - can we use this space better? Could we extend the grad study are into this space?  Could we build up the balcony area with clear walls so that the sounds doesn't travel as much?

I like the proposed outline of spaces (use types) that is described for each floor above by Sara.  I didn't see the VHS-to-DVD conversion decks mentioned and would add a few VHS-to-DVD conversion decks to the multimedia/AV room proposed for the second floor. possivbly review some other formats?  - don't go to the extent of Danielle Mericle's "white elephant room" in Olin though!

I would like to see a suite of reservable desktop videoconferencing rooms (both individual and small groups) to allow folks to easily connect and collaborate remotely for any purpose (eg. faculty acting as a guest speaker to a remote location, student interviews, participation in a meeting or webinar, etc).  we could easily equip some of the existing individual and group study rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor for this purpose.

CALS facilities is currently (to my knowledge) not designing spaces or providing furniture for "scale-up" or "flipped classroom" models of teaching.  There is a lot of buzz about this methodology - coming from faculty - and providing a space for this style of teaching could be an opportunity for Mann to be an early-adopter / leader in space/furniture design for CALS (and Cornell?).  Furniture here is the key - something that could be set up in pods of different sizes, and could also be broken out into rows?  like this: http://bretford.com/resources/downloads/specifications/e2_4leg_scale_up_table.pdf

We still have to get over the IT networking hurdles (federated access, security) related to wireless display control by BYOD's (bring your own device),  BUT ideally we want to have all collaborative work stations accessible from any wireless BYOD's brought in by patrons.
