Additional Factors

● Integrating collaborative and quiet zones are tricky

● 71% of the users observed by Suma were individual studiers (between 2-8am this

increased to 87%)

● 81% had a laptop with them - outlets!

● Variety of work surface height is important

● Lounge furniture by windows

● Between 2-8 am, only 4% of users were located in the CIT lab and 7% were

located in the Library Classroom. Perhaps we don’t need to provide desktop

computers or printing in the 24 hour space?
