Many campuses will be postponing or curtailing new building projects and renovations due to the current economic climate, but the pressing need for newly configured, technology-enabled spaces has not gone away. This session will describe a number of low or no-cost strategies for moving institutions towards their overall goals for new learning spaces, particularly in libraries and computing centers, while waiting for the actual construction or renovation. In the process, these strategies may assist campuses in clarifying what they hope the new spaces will accomplish, may assist units in being able to implement new, user-driven services as soon as the new spaces are occupied, and may help forge new campus partnerships. Participants will be asked to describe the status of their building projects and to contribute ideas for leveraging the availability of additional time prior to project completion.
