Learning Commons at the CBE
Today’s learners cannot imagine life without the internet and supporting technology. The concept of the traditional library is changing to include technology, online tools and spaces for collaboration and exploration.
In 2024 Escuela Eugene Coste worked closely with our Eugene Coste Enrichment Society to allocate fundraised dollars to renew our Learning Commons space. With this financial support we were able to purchase new furniture that support flexible, collaborative and creative use of the environment.
Items that we purchased included: modular sofa-style seating, flip tables, rolling adjustable chairs, and wide assortment of upholstered ottomans. These items continue to support a wide variety of whole group, small group and individual work and benefit both the students and all adults who work with them.
We are grateful for the collaboration with our parent community to prioritize the renewal of our Learning Commons.
