Designed for Experience: Reimagining Spaces and Services
Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Colorado Convention Center, Room 401-404
What if we designed our physical libraries with learning – not shelving – at their core? This simple question led one library (and its team of awesome experts) to create an unconventional framework for reimagining its spaces and services. In this highly interactive session, participants will explore the customer activities and outcomes that can drive library design. Using a fun and participatory methodology, participants will create spaces that help customers learn, create and share.
At the end of this session, participants will:
1: Understand how experience principles and customer activities inform space and service design. 2: Know more about the discipline of service design and how to build capacity for it in their organization. 3: Apply new skills and tools to their own library space and service challenges.
The session organizer(s) identified this session as appropriate for:
Level 1: People with no previous knowledge of the topic.
