I went up to BBC Glasgow yesterday to participate in their Watchdog programme and couldn’t resist popping into the Saltire Centre to see the interior design of this innovative learning centre. I loved the open plan feel of the study spaces and the way in which different kinds of seating and tables are mixed together.

This “pod” is used as an enquiry point and Joe, one of the library staff, kindly modelled for me! Personally, I found it a little claustrophobic to sit in, but it looks great and Joe was quite content with it.

There are similar pods scattered around which students can use for group work, as well as comfy seats and even bean bags.
