   University Business magazine, in its recent "Collaboration Station"
   issue published in May, 2011, documented the recent flurry of
   reinvented spaces and new construction that caters to students and
   university populations. In it, they recall the uninviting environments
   of yesterday and look toward the future of designing higher education
   learning spaces. Higher education spaces are undergoing radical
   transformation in an attempt to respond to the needs of 21st-century
   learners and a renewed interest in collaboration that spans beyond the
   walls of departments, colleges, and libraries. Meanwhile, libraries,
   media labs, and other central higher education initiatives are
   reinventing their spaces through remodeled centers and full-scale
   renovation projects. Likewise, some involve new, collaborative
   practices that respond to the ways that students, faculty, and staff
   communicate, research, and learn in the 21st century. Universities are
   drawing from successful reinvented corporate environments as they
   design their new spaces, libraries are becoming centralized hubs for
   collaboration and information design, and the information commons
   concept has taken on a new meaning for higher education leaders.


   This collection invites representatives from higher education, K-12
   education, a range of industries, and the corporate sector to ask
   questions about the future of higher education spaces, collaborative
   partnerships, and technologies that serve to develop new environments
   or reinvent previously unused or underused ones. The editor invites
   single authored and collaboratively written articles from a diverse
   range of innovative higher education and corporate partners to offer
   perspectives on ways in which technology, collaborative efforts, and
   creative thinking can be leveraged to envision new and redesigned
   higher education spaces.


   Inquiries, proposals, and submissions can be sent electronically in MS
