Active Learning at GVSU's Mary Idema Pew Library - Steelcase
Like every space on campus, the library now is being rethought and reorganized. See how Grand Valley State University and Steelcase applied the principles of Active Learning to completely re-imagine the library experience.
To better understand the trends, Steelcase WorkSpace futures initiated a major study of libraries at private and public colleges and universities across the U.S., including GVSU. What the Steelcase researchers discovered were major shifts in how the library is being used and a number of opportunities to better leverage space, new technologies, and pedagogies for a new generation of students.

This is a beautiful video and shows just what a current Learning Commons should look like. Props to GVSU and Steelcase for making a stunning building. A building where any student would be happy to study.
SHW Group is the architect. They were a great partner during the design phase and we continue to have a great working relationship with them. The students absolutely love the new library and we feel as though we were able to provide a learning environment that both stimulates and encourages a variety of learning styles.
Carlos is correct, it was SHW Group. They did a fantastic job designing a beautiful and functional space.
Thank you, Connor!
what is the best orientation about library design?
which song is used in the video?
What a beautiful library! This is a far cry from what I experienced back in my day - we would try to study together or have a conversation, but couldn't find a place in the library where we could actually make noise. We always ended up in the cafeteria. Who is the architect?
Then, news of the Steamship S.T. Crapo hit college, they were going to convert it to oil, we said they should leave it coal burning.
