Learning Commons Emphasizes Collaborative Space and Technology

10/28/15 — Roland Park Country School’s Middle and Upper School Faissler Library unveiled a new look to promote an emphasis on active learning, supported by many high tech features. Faissler Library Learning Commons now offers moveable desks and tables designed to promote group interaction and comfortable seating and flexible small rooms that can be used for quiet study, group work, tutoring or meetings.

“We’re excited to have new technology and spaces for the students to connect and work collaboratively,” said Janice Moore, Roland Park’s Director of Libraries. “It encourages creativity, imagination, communication and sharing knowledge rather than conducting research in isolation. That’s what today’s learners want and need.”
