Design Guidance: Learning Environments
Division of the University Architect, University of Cincinnati, 2003.
U of Cincinnati generously made their document public "to convey the lessons learned and help you avoid 'reinventing the wheel' as design of future projects proceeds". The objectives were to:

• Encourage interactive learning
• Provide comfortable seating with larger work surfaces
• Add multi-media audio-visual systems with good sight lines
• Provide a link to the Internet from every learning room Improve access for all persons
• Improve functional relationships Increase flexibility to respond to future needs
• Increase classroom use rates

The 2003 University of Cincinnati document is routinely referenced in the other documents. The University of New Mexico is beginning work on a similar learning space design guideline that will reflect our unique environment, while preserving best practices.
