Dear Andrew,

At Illinois we have several flexible learning spaces, but they are not exclusive to language courses;  they are general assignment classrooms, and they tend to be large in capacity.
In case it helps anyway, this site has a ton of information, including a link that takes you through a virtual tour of the spaces we have: http://citl.illinois.edu/citl-101/instructional-spaces-technologies/collaborative-classrooms
The link to the virtual tour is where it says "View 360-degree images of iFLEX Classrooms"

Hi Andrew,

Here's an image of one of our BLC rooms that Mark Kaiser designed as a "flex room" to provide maximum flexibility for language classes. It has proven to be very popular. Mark may have more images, but this is what we have on our website: http://blc.berkeley.edu/room_reservations/b-3/

Best,

Rick

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.
