3 Ways to Think About Faculty Spaces Following trends in facilities planning and interior design, we’ve classified faculty spaces within three different typologies: Double-Loaded Corridor, Unloaded Corridor and Faculty Hub. These serve as helpful starting points when beginning to think about designing faculty spaces.
