Valpo also has one of the best and most creative language programs. Wish I could have answered Inside HigherEds article a few days ago

with a description of the thoughtful things being done at there in all facets of language learning.

Hello Andrew,

In the fall of 2012 we opened a new language center at Valparaiso University. You can take a tour of our facility here: 
http://www.valpo.edu/language-resource-center/facilities-overview/tour/
(Hover to see photos and descriptions of each space.)

There's an overview of the language center here:

If you have questions about the space, feel free to contact me.

Best,

Carol

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!
