1. Timeline for proposal extended to Jan. 31 to give the committee 4 more weeks to develop the proposal.
2. Brightspot Proposal – reviewed proposal submitted to the committee by Brightspot Strategies. Brightspot will work collaboratively with Library Director and the Steering Committee to guide and facilitate an engaging and hands-on process to envision and plan for the new library learning commons. Throughout the process the steering committee will work to gather broad input from students, faculty, staff, and affected programs. The proposal lays out the work in 3 areas: 1) Groundwork and Preparation 2) On-site visioning, Planning & Reporting 3) Follow Up, Consulting & Advising. The committee agreed that working with Brightspot would be a strategic approach to such an important proposal as this. We are bringing resources together in a new way, and want to be as informed as possible. Not working with consultants was seen as “penny smart, pound foolish.”
