We are looking at ways that we can enhance the space to optimize the student experience, for learning, research, writing, and creative production. We would like to ask you a few questions about how you go about accomplishing your academic work: 1. Where do you think that you do your best work? Why? 2. What spaces do you currently prefer and why? 3. Have you been in Odegaard during the past year? If so, how often and when did you come into the building? If not, why not? 4. What aspects about the current facilities at Odegaard do you find most helpful? 5. What aspects are most frustrating? 6. Could you describe a recent class or project that you have had that required the use of one of the libraries or the MGH Computing Resource Center? 7. What resources or applications did you need to use? 8. What resources or applications would you have liked to have used if they had been available? 9. Where do you go to create your multimedia projects? Why? 10. What should Odegaard do to make it your preferred place for study, practice, production, or research? 11. Is there anything else that you would like to say to the vision steering group about OUGL building?
