TIPS• Think about how students use your space; identify areas
that don’t work as is, or dead space that might serve some purpose.
• Try to anticipate the future with regards to the infrastructure; including wiring, power, lighting, and traffic volume.
• Try to keep the costs down in order to sell ideas in tough budget times and yet still be able to move ahead.
• Look for materials (equipment and furniture) being surplused by other units to keep costs down.

TIPS
• Keep staff involved in any redesign project; ask for opinions, have brainstorming sessions where as many as possible can participate. The staff needs to buy-in into the changes. Plus you may get some good ideas you didn’t think of.
• Successful change requires training. Use a blog to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on. Use a log to track suggestions and comments.
• Expect to struggle; expect opposition; keep planning, present positives with good research to back plans.
