My module or chapter has to do with special space considerations in a language lab. Examples of these special spaces could be audio or video recording studios, faculty workstations, quiet study rooms, soundproof booths for recording and listening to tapes, video viewing rooms, movie viewing rooms, "smart" classrooms, media libraries, etc etc etc. If you were to do all over again, what rooms/dedicated spaces would you make sure were included in your lab's blueprints? What space do you wish you had but --now that they have finished construction and closed up the walls-- there's no way yer gonna get? What have you seen at someone else's lab that made you think "Wow, that would have been cool to have..." On the flip side of the question: what kind of space requirements did you think you needed but now find you don't need anymore? Feel free to respond off-list or on. Thanks!
