Good morning everyone,
Here is a link to our homepage. http://www.lsu.edu/hss/fll/forlanglab/index.php
Under "Facilities" you can view images of each of the rooms in our lab space. I appreciate all of the responses to this thread, especially seeing some of the directions you're going with your facilities/projects. As you'll see, our lab has a traditional design. We've been fortunate to have funds support the acquisition of new equipment, but I'm starting to see that maybe we should mix things up and create some "mobile" spaces out of what we have. I'll read through more of your comments and if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post or respond. If anyone has any questions about our lab please feel free to reach out.
Danke!
Mike

Hi Andrew,
Check out UNM Language Learning Center's collaborative spaces at http://llc.unm.edu/resources/facilities.html. We’ve gotten lots of great feedback from faculty and students (who helped us in designing these spaces). Most of our classrooms hold 30 students. We also have a movie room, a central Hub, a seminar room, and a skype mobile. I would be happy to talk to you about the whole process if you’d like. Here are the direct links to the pages we have up so far. Good luck and have fun!

Subject: Pictures of your amazing language resource center spaces
Dear All:
Arizona State University is embarking on a complete gut and redesign of our Languages & Literatures Building, which houses Learning Support Services (LSS). LSS is a priority for expanded and redesigned space, which is very good news. Once upon a time, there was a page on the earlier version of the IALLT website linked from the Language Center Design Manual ( http://www.iallt.org/lcd) that offered amazing images of the very best of the spaces that we’ve designed at our respective institutions. That seems no longer to be a valid link, so I’m reaching out to all of you for advice and pics.
Here’s what we’re looking at in terms of space “typologies”:
* collaboratory/active learning classroom expansion (we already have one, but it’d be useful to see spaces with more capacity (+/- 30))
* drop-in learning facilities, with computers and BYOD capability
* online teaching studios for synchronous activities and simple materials development
* telecollaboration/telepresence space
* testing facilities/quiet spaces
* computer classrooms
* tutoring/small group spaces
* circulation/information space
* CALL research laboratory (eye-tracking lab, observable teaching/learning spaces, media/coding/learning object development space)
If you have center pages with images of the spaces you’ve designed (particularly successful ones), would you please respond to this thread with links? If you don’t already have them up on the Web, I’d be happy to help figure out a place for them, even temporarily, if others would find that of use.
Many, many thanks in advance!
a.
