Poster presentation from the Living the Future 7 Conference, April 30-May 3, 2008, University of Arizona Libraries, Tucson, AZ. / Seattle University began planning in 2002 for a renovation of and addition to A.A. Lemieux Library. The University wished to transform the current Library (built in 1966) into a dynamic learning resource center, integrating traditional library services with a wide range of collaborative programs. As planning proceeded, the programs to be added were identified as the Learning Assistance Center, the Writing Center, and a new Oral Communication Center. Library administrative staff and our Learning Commons Partners initially met with architects and facilities staff to discuss space needs. As the architectural designs developed, participants recognized a need to create a shared vision of the Learning Commons. Sharing began with a monthly meeting of the Learning Commons Partners. Our poster session will illustrate the activities we are using to create a shared understanding of our Learning Commons and how it will operate. We are in the early stages of a process intended to create a better understanding of our various service areas and challenge us to develop a shared mission, vision, and goals for our Learning Commons which is expected to open in September 2010.
