31 A great opportunity to rethink how we organize ourselves Need to open our minds What would improve your quality of life What is most important to us The devil is in the details

32 Issues How to organize research groups students mixed with faculty or separate students with their faculty groups are localized How to organize labs individual or group labs people in labs, or just equipment labs next to faculty

33 Issues II Types of common spaces informal sitting areas reading room food services/café atrium Connectivity and traffic flow bridge to NSH? bridge to cut?

34 Issues III Privacy vs. Openness glass windows on labs glass windows on offices open space desks (students, staff?) Boldness of architecture vanilla functional building make a statement about SCS

35 Issues IV What space gets windows offices, conference rooms, common spaces Number and sizes of conference rooms 7220 (500sqft) 4623 (900sqft) Classroom space Any special teaching labs? Any special classrooms?

36 Issues V Office space for undergraduates Office sizes for graduate students 3 students, 4, 5, ? Noise Individual heat/air control Opening windows
