A LEARNING COMMONS The idea of grouping services for students is already present on campus with the co-location of Student Advising and auxiliary services in the Classroom Center. A Learning Commons will bring together not only the student services that we currently have, but also create a common area for learning and research to take place. This will occur by expanding the footprint of the current Cornette Library. JOURNAL ACCESS WT will expand access to research journals, particularly in the sciences. Additional library resources, especially online databases with full-text journal access, also will be needed to support new doctoral programs.
INNOVATION WT will seek innovative ways to approach its mission for the next decade and beyond by developing existing technologies and creating spaces where new technologies (specifically Virtual Reality) can be used by both faculty and students.
