In almost direct contrast to the 3rd Floor West wing of the library, outfitted with nearly one hundred cubicles and over twenty rows of bookshelves, the recently renovated East Commons is a combination of computer stations, couches, chairs, and work tables that flow in an arc around the new Jazzman’s Café. Despite the years of research designed to create a space that truly satisfies students’ needs for learning, however, it must be asked whether or not the designers have succeeded in creating such a study space. The answer is yes, but in order to understand this answer, one must first understand what it means to be a Sacred Space, and more specifically, a Knowledge Space. <br/> <br/>Description: Student paper written for Hugh Crawford's English 1102 class (ENGL-1102HP1 Fall 2006) http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/13665 Title: An experiment in Modern Knowledge Spaces: the Library East Commons <br/> <br/>Authors: Stuart, Crit; Bennett, Charlie; Cseplo, Steve; Kahn, Sabir; Vogt, Brett; Lamia, Frank; Leland, Blake; Crawford, T.
