• 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?

Tour of Taylor Student Lounge and Game Room
Many students who participated in the "draw your ideal space" session drew student lounges into their designs. 

Shane:

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 the "white elephant room" in Olin though! (ask me if you have questions)

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.

• Reuse content from MALT Report; MALT Findings Report; and Space Task Force Report
• Refer to Steelcase Planning Document; NC State Toolkit; online research; Van Tienhoven Trip; Communication, DEA and other departments' faculty and students; strategic plans

...

• Assessment and ongoing assessment-how will we accomplish that? Traditional ways such as surveys, focus groups, interviews, student advisory groups.  Also experimental spaces; put something out there and observe use. Ways to allow hands-on student involvement in ongoing design of library through curriculum? Allow greater involvement from student workers? Get continuous feedback in lightweight way?
• Emerging partnerships with academic partners---CTE, CIT, Cornell Tradition, etc.
• Where do we see the future going? Think holistically about impacts-- mobile technology, cloud, desktop computing impacts
•  
• What is the role of technology? Somewhat related to the above bullet point but we can also look at technology in terms of how the library uses it to market itself and assist students - do we want touch screens for resource finding, group or study session meet-up info, computer availability, etc.  The #1 piece of equipment that students have wanted at all locations, including Mann, is a whiteboard. 
• How do today's today’s students work collaboratively?  Refer to MALT studies, research, other institutions, etc.
• Multimedia's Multimedia’s role; multimedia studios?  Can we get a good sense of the multi-media projects that faculty are requiring? 
• Role of scale up classrooms; large mobile spaces for use of graduate students
• Display space for projects - important for providing ownership of space
• Providing student social space where students can "happen upon another conversation" and join in
• Fluid/dynamic environment--things will change; any plan needs to be flexible and forgiving; ok to fail
• Vision Possibilities: Idea of library as learning lab and integral partner in whole lifecycle of scholarship (place to generate ideas, study, teach, research, collaborate, create & communicate your work). Role of library in making visible scholarly conversation.
• New funding and planning model - how to design process for long term and continual renewal, not "set it and forget it"

...

• Background--re-purpose content from Space Planning report and other research
• How Do Students Work Collaboratively/issues identified/types of spaces needed to excel--reference MALT studies, other research etc.
• How Do We Meet Student, Faculty, and Staff Collaboration/teaching needs - now and in the future: Vision and Guiding Principles

Jim:  

• Overall, we need a balance of collaborative/group study spaces and individual study spaces. The latter are generally quiet, while former are not quiet.  Right now, 3rd floor is all quiet except for closed group study spaces.  2nd floor is odd mix--noisy Bissett space sandwiched between quiet(er) study space on other side of ITS windows and the Dean's room.
• What about moving the collaborative Bissett  space to the 2nd floor area that now has the offices cubicles?  
• Or moving some round tables into Dean's room to make it more of a group study space (noisier) and make the east end all quiet?  Actually, just went to Dean's and see that it is a mix of tables and individual tables.
• I don't think the idea of individual study rooms is that important--seems what's more important is QUIET study spaces.  
• We should put some especially cool stuff in basement to attract people there.   Certainly whiteboards.  Maybe LCD carts too,.
• More bean bag chairs!
• I've noticed that the whole building seems to be self policing on noise--lobby and Bissett area have talking, rest (esp 3 and 4) dead quiet.  In giving up 4, we'll need to carve out more dead quiet study space.
• We could potentially overdo the collaborative space thing--ie, the balance between noisy group and quiet individual.  Let's get the balance right.
• Are there any examples of cool carrels?  IE, individual study spaces that are not rooms, but are marked off.  I really loved those when I was in college, but I'm old.
