Washington, DC  LSC (Learning Spaces Collaboratory) Webinars with the theme, "building and sustaining institutional-wide awareness of how space matters to learning," will be facilitated by colleagues from campuses that have formal programs for managing and planning classrooms and informal learning spaces. Webinars explore how to gain a sense of the community, capitalize on internal interest and expertise in ongoing renewal of program and place, and use current and capital funds most efficiently in renewing the physical fabric of the campus.
