Good morning. Can anyone share how they have overcome "space" (classroom, meeting room) challenges?

Specifically, at our college, I have gotten recent support to implement a leadership certificate program (think unaccredited course). Our college is growing and classroom space is limited. Traditional 3-credit classes are scheduled first. We do have a student lounge, but it is not ideal. Thanks in advance for your responses.

John, We have used Saturday classes as a solution in the past (with great success) for certificate programs. Although working on Saturday is not ideal for faculty, typically those seeking certificates are working adults who usually are grateful for the opportunity to attend a weekend class for a few months to update their skills and gain an edge in their industry. Outside of weekends we have also used Hybrid technologies that allow a mixed platform of both online and in classroom. Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions, Steve
