Labs aren't going away entirely, but the last time we renovated a lab space
we didn't put in any computers. We added tables with power modules in the
surface for kids to plug in their own laptops, and printers connected via a
PaperCut page where students can upload documents to print. The students
In a day when all students have a computer, we're still providing plenty of
labs. Students want them because, "we know the college computers will work
when we need to write a paper." It's almost like they treat their PCs like
disposable burners or something :-)

At Old Dominion University (my previous employer) we went to a combination
of a few central labs, a virtual computer lab, and a learning commons
area. The students really embraced the learning commons which included
configurable furniture with power outlets, group meeting rooms with
TVs/projectors
We're doing a fair amount of application virtualization so students can
access many of those licensed applications from their laptops (or other
mobile devices) without needing to come to a physical computer lab.
