a. Survey audience about stressors to contemporary science facilities and
health career facilities and spaces
b. Review the impact of on-line learning on science environments
c. Review changes in science over time that impact space
d. Discuss the objectives of physical space in the coming decades
(Outline Page)
II. The Evolution of Science Spaces (15 min, Carr/Lundeen )
a. Carr Review of the history of Science Lab / Classroom interactive environments (Carr and Oakton)
b. Carr - Identify shortcomings of traditional labs and learning spaces in relation to contemporary teaching practices – Oakton Process – (discussed in Part I)
c. Lundeen – JJC/Harper - Investigate octagonal labs and triangular collaborative spaces at Oakton Science and Health Careers Center (LEE Center) (Lundeen) (why we ended up here little history (Show examples of Separate Lecture/Lab, Combined, and improved)
d. Lundeen - Share other non-traditional science spaces (e.g., science without walls – building in future? (Drop) Jump to Outdoor classroom. Outdoor Labs, Learning spaces. Outdoor
pictures context.
Shaping Up
