Abstract

This session was presented at the CNI Fall 2017 Membership Meeting.

The Wilmeth Active Learning Center (WALC) marries the traditional functions of a library and a classroom by including such traditional elements as a reading room and stack space with library study space distributed throughout the building. The 27 classrooms are designed for active learning with a variety of seating types around tables to enable and enhance collaborative learning, coupled with state of art technology to facilitate the learning experience.
