New Building Will Feature Many New Classrooms

The most important space in our new building is the space dedicated to classrooms. These classrooms will dramatically improve the learning environment for our students. There is more space dedicated to new classrooms than to any other function in the new building.

Our current working design has plans for 22 classrooms in the new building. That’s a huge increase in the number of classrooms on campus. These new classrooms will help ease the campus-wide classroom shortage. Some of the classrooms will be tiered classrooms and some will be flat classrooms. Some will be computer lab classrooms. All of the new classrooms will be classrooms equipped with new technology designed to enhance the learning experience. We have various sizes of classrooms, with some smaller classrooms with as few as 30 seats, and some larger classrooms with 80 seats. These new classrooms will be the dominant feature on the first, second, and third floors of Huntsman Hall. This is such as an important part of the new building that I’ve decided to write about them over the next few weeks. I want to discuss what they will offer our students and how we, as faculty will use them.
