Community

Learning spaces for the ongoing development of IBM employees provide different environments for teaching and learning. Each training room is uniquely reconfigurable and with this flexibility comes the need for storage space, outlined here, as well. The library is unique among learning spaces, as it also serves as an individual work setting for IBM employees.

Library

The library provides a quiet space to work, read and decompress. IBM employees are provided a variety of space settings in an acoustically attenuated space with the ability to bring their own devices.
