Learning spaces
We've designed a range of spaces that encourage collaborative learning and practical problem-solving.
Learning spaces are equipped with:
- furniture that can be configured to suit different classes and activities
- built-in technology that facilitates interaction between students and lecturers, like lecterns with screen-sharing capabilities and computers on wheels (COWs) for student group work.
This makes it easier for students to participate in discussions, share ideas, and ask and answer questions.
