Ten Lessons Learned . . .
1. Relentless relationship building is still necessary--and we are the ones who have to do it!
2. Building plans must be driven by the strategic or academic plan for the institution. Revisit connections throughout planning and implementation.
3. It takes a campus community to build a good learning space.

4. Plan holistically, but attempt to take small steps that help meet goals along the way.
5. Each plan (classroom improvement, library renovation, computing center, information commons) needs a shepherd who is a somewhat neutral party.
6. We should be building for generations to come, not for the needs of the current users of a space.

7. Plan the technology at the last possible minute to take advantage of recent developments.
8. Building prototypes and testing them saves money and creates better spaces.
9. We need to pay more attention to sustainability and conservation of the earth’s resources.
10. Pedagogy must drive technology--not the other way around.
