Building Towards the Future
Looking ahead to the future at ISU, a variety of projects are underway, poised to offer support to our faculty, staff, and students in their pursuit of academic excellence. With the allocation of AEF funds, the DeGarmo Plaza Deck is undergoing renovations throughout this summer season, with the aim of revitalizing spaces that seamlessly merge relaxation and academic experiences, exhibiting an engaging environment for students to excel in their studies.
Our commitment to improving the academic environments at ISU remains the same, as we continue on our mission to revitalize classrooms, restrooms, and study lounges in the upcoming years. These ambitious undertakings embody our aspiration to cultivate an engaging and modern environment for our campus community, one that will leave a lasting impact, providing excellence to students and faculty alike for years to come.

Informal Learning Spaces
The image depicted above offers a glimpse into the future state of an informal learning space on campus, showcasing a uniquely designed space with a contemporary touch. The visual encapsulates a look of comfort and functionality, achieved through the utilization of modern furniture that can be easily rearranged to cater to diverse study preferences and activities. The campus community will not only benefit from a modernized appearance but also from the incorporation of technology such as USB plugins. This will enable students to charge their academic study-related electronics conveniently. This envisioned study lounge aims to provide the campus community with a flexible environment where they can unwind, collaborate with peers, and engage in focused learning. The aesthetics and layout depicted above present an inviting atmosphere that fosters relaxation, creativity, and productivity, ensuring that students have an optimal setting to complement their academic pursuits.
In contrast, the new informal learning spaces represent the ongoing efforts to transform the existing learning spaces on campus into similar areas of learning and relaxation. We are currently still evaluating potential spaces to begin renovating, and they are slated to look similar to the finished study lounge depicted above in the near future. The image serves as a preview of the forthcoming improvements, providing students with a glimpse of what they can anticipate upon completion. As the upgrades progress, students can look forward to enhanced study areas that align with the contemporary design showcased above, promising an upgraded experience that combines style, functionality, and adaptability to cater to their evolving needs and preferences.
