*Sound isolation is an issue in the back of the Research Commons 
*Projector is hard to see in the back of the Commons 
*Research Commons has most flexibility in terms of flexing the size of break-out groups 
	
The interactive classrooms at Odegaard make it hard to read the room while instructing, mentors sitting at tables helps, though it seems students mostly 	look at the screens.
