Teaching & Learning Lab

Lecture/experimentation rooms

In the educational testing spaces, education determines the layout of the space, instead of the space dictating how the teacher conducts education. Tables and chairs, standing tables, or even no furniture at all are all possibilities. Additionally, various equipment is available, such as digital whiteboards, short-throw projectors, and observation cameras.

If desired, the space can be furnished with mobile scrum tables (6-8 persons per table) that are height-adjustable, lightweight two-person tables, and chairs. Additionally, an interactive whiteboard, movable screens, and short-throw projectors can be utilized.
