At the kickoff session on January 21, cityLAB-Coalition students and Fowler student workers co-imagined a museum experience centered on comfort, short stays between classes, and multiuse with stronger ties to coursework and student work. Participants brainstormed pilot ideas by place: study-friendly seating and occasional evening moments for the Davis Courtyard; clear orientation and “how to use this space” cues at the entry; and small creative-education and reflection zones within gallery areas. The group also identified near-term opportunities for improvement: enhancing entrance visibility, clarifying policies, better aligning hours with class rhythms, adding outdoor seating, and streamlining communications in everyday settings. We’re grateful to Fowler’s team for their partnership; staff will join the next session to co-develop the survey format, themes, questions, and expected outcomes that align with student needs and institutional realities.
