Hi All, We are in the process of designing a large facility for TBL. The facility would encompass the entire class (approx 220 students). Thus far the architects have come up with a room of rectangular proportions. We are worried about the possible lack of 'inter-connectedness' (for want of a better phrase) of the teams in a rectangular room - can teams at one end (or one corner) of the room have difficulty feeling and being a part of the inter-team discussion? Is there any hard evidence that a room with a square design would help with 'inter-connectedness' (we'll need to back up requests to the architects!)? I understand that many of us make TBL work in facilities that are non-ideal, but theoretically what room proportions would you have if money, practicalities etc were not issues?
