Stimulating spaces draw us in and spark creative thinking.
Learning spaces need to stimulate thinking. They can be loud or quiet, crowded or sparse. They are effective as long as they stimulate, motivate, and keep people thinking. The very arrangement of a learning space sets expectations of the activity that will occur there. Stimulating environments draw us in. They are the places we want to be.
A college's overall image strengthens its success in competing for top-notch faculty and students. Imaginative and careful design of learning environments can be an effective tool in attracting and retaining students, faculty, and funding.
