At Williams, we pride ourselves on communal learning. We believe that interactions among students, faculty, and staff- in both formal and informal settings- are the best drivers of personal and intellectual growth. Yet, what drives those interactions themselves? Part of the answer lies in the physical spaces in which Williams people live and work.
