Not rigorously or systematically
Robust ongoing assessment program includes surveying students, conducting focus groups, interviews, usability testing,
design exercises, photo diaries, to determine whether a recent space refresh has been a success and how we can create
a better learning environment in the future.
The assessment was not about library learning spaces generally, but about the use of one particular classroom, and its
suitability to be repurposed.
Transformation/use aspects such as furniture, equipment, software, and need-specific, responsive space options are
being explored and analyzed.
