I again saw this used nicely above the swimming pool at the Southwest Community Center. Though this is not a library, faculty do need library-like conditions for sustained concentration. Traffic flows should not be routed by faculty offices. Students should not be able to look to see if a faculty member is in their office through any hall window. A mix of methodologies.
Positivism still dominates overall.
But also ethnographic approaches. The social sciences draw upon the other divisions' disciplines to a degree. The social sciences actually cover a broad range, with some departments resembling the natural sciences, and other more closely resembling the humanities in their philosophic and methodological orientation. Some will prefer auditorium seating in classrooms, while others will require flexible seminar seating for seminars. Anthropology is more a humanities program than a social science program.
