If you’re attending the 2018 SCUP National Conference in Nashville, TN, from July 14 to 17, you can catch our principal Charles Klee present on designing social spaces.
The Genetics of a Successful Social Hub
Social spaces are ubiquitous and diverse, but identifying what makes one vibrant and another desolate can be elusive. Success lies in understanding how the space serves a population’s functional needs. Institutions want spaces that encourage collaboration, and to really serve their populations, these need to go beyond comfy seating—functional spaces are able to draw people in and encourage them to stay. You will learn which questions to ask and see examples of how programmatic elements promote work, casual interaction, and above all else, draw in a diverse population.
