General Education spaces are the basic building blocks of an educational building and can be used interchangeably by a large number of programs for various courses. Qualities such as acoustics, sightlines, flexibility, and plenty of outlets for student use, all contribute to the success of these fundamental spaces.

GENERAL CLASSROOM / COMPUTER LAB
Classrooms & Computer Labs
-
SPACE DESCRIPTION
The general Classroom is designed to accommodate teaching a wide variety of classes where students are at desks or computers. The ideal classroom size has been determined by its ability to accommodate 24 students in multiple furniture arrangements. Tables and chairs with casters allow for easy spatial reorganization and flexibility for group-based, collaborative, and interactive learning. Educational tools include a Learn Anywhere technology package with audio system and touchscreen TV displays.
The classroom layout can be modified to serve as a Computer Lab, with greater power and data connections to accommodate students working at personal computers.
SUCCESS FACTORS
Acoustic Performance: The primary mode of teaching involves speech and listening; therefore, it is crucial the acoustic performance of the classroom is carefully considered. Acoustics must be considered in terms of background noise as well as speech intelligibility. Decreasing acoustic performance to reduce costs will proportionally impact the efficacy of the classroom itself.
Flexibility: The size shown has been determined to be the ideal size for best accommodating the desired number of students and the largest number of potential furniture arrangements.
