The Brock Learning Commons, designed by Diamond & Schmitt Architects Inc., will be an inviting learning space where physical surroundings and student services will converge to create an environment that supports the informal and social dimensions of learning. Centrally located at the heart of the campus on the main floor of the James A. Gibson Library, the Learning Commons will also encompass the area previously occupied by the University Book Store. The renovations will result in an open expanse of more than 20,000 sq. ft. dedicated to student learning space and service.
