also stated that he was recommending several conference rooms be outfitted with new
furniture for a try-out period.
Ms. Zuliani of the Classroom design Committee that the committee advocated “smart”
classrooms throughout campus, but of various sizes, and that they should be user friendly
and have technical compatibility between them.
Tim Steele mentioned many “concept” areas to consider, like the grand court, the
“inward” configuration of the campus to more of an “outward” configuration, and the
idea of re-cycling and how that concept would be encouraged in building
designs/renovations. He provided handouts.
