A very interesting dialogue occurred at a recent SCUP conference. A presentation on flexible learning spaces sparked a comment from the audience about the inflexibility of flexible spaces. We have all heard that flexibility is important and believe me the intent of design is to provide flexibility. At CMBA we strive for flexibility. However, flexibility may mean something different for all stakeholders. Does flexible mean one minute the space can be filled with digitally and power connected tables and the next minute have a dance? No. Does flexible mean you can move monitors around wherever you want? No.
So what SHOULD your expectation be of flexible space?
