Trends in Community Commons Areas
Students need a place of refuge from the rigors of their academic schedules and a place to socialize without pressure. Reimagining a community commons space can provide more opportunities for socialization and activities. A diverse range of spaces for multiple uses can be created – from individual study to small group or large team activities – and integrated technology for continuous connectivity throughout the building.
Join us to see examples of ways to rethink your community commons by creating a unified and centralized social space for students.
- Creating an Environment of choice
