“I was brand new in my role in learning environments at the
university, and this wasn’t really my specialty. I went to my
director with my proposal for new spaces.
To back my case, I included several examples I found in
FLEXspace from other institutions. I made my ‘ask,’ and he
said, ‘OK.’
My colleagues were shocked. You got your full ‘ask’? That
never happens!”
-- Director of Learning Environments,
Private University in Southern California
