The Learning Center

The Learning Center is wide open and has a vaulted ceiling to prevent it from giving the feeling of suppressing ideas or not allowing thoughts to grow. There are no dividers, it is like everyone’s thoughts are supposed to be free to swim around the room, and around each other, and around each person like many fish around a reef. The constant sound of keyboards typing and people discussing quietly amongst each other sharing thoughts, ideas, and knowledge can be heard. There are many windows allowing light in, and if it is dark outside enough lights, to keep people from having to use their ideas light for anything other than its' intended purpose. There are tables that allow seating for two and others that have space for twenty; with so many views there needs to be places for them to be shared. There are also both large and small pillars that seem to say there are no ideas that are too small or too great, and no matter the size they are still important.

If an idea is struggling to stay alive there are people that sit and wait or walk around to offer the aid it needs to continue on. There are also people and computers available to help encourage the production of new thoughts and the supply of knowledge that has come from those before. There is no one subject that dominates here, everything from philosophy to physiology, from maternity to mathematics; there are no boundaries or restrictions that try to keep the brain from growing. Instead the gates are wide open allowing anyone who comes in to take whatever information they want, and either share it or keep for themselves, in the long run it doesn’t matter because the information will always be available here regardless.
