Hi everyone, We are in the middle of a new strategic plan and I've just learned of a new master plan. In short, I have a couple of days to put together a proposal for a new language center (Union is a small liberal arts college). At this point, it does not have to be detailed. The question is money, precisely how much to ask for. I'm hoping that humanities and social sciences obtain the creation of a new building and that they would consider putting the language center in there. I need suggestions for an equipment and furniture budget for a teaching lab, sound recording station, lounge etc. Being so short on time, I would greatly appreciate anything you can send me. I've already looked at some of the answers that were sent to Sharon regarding space design but that two steps ahead of where I am at, although it does give me an idea for what's needed. The other thing is that I have to include the reasoning behind the need for a new language center (the importance of CALL...) so if you have something to send me there too, it would be great. I'm currently taking a look at the Learning Space book.
