Classrooms
The ATLAS Building features instructional
spaces designed to encourage
creative uses of
in-class
and distance learning technologies
and engaged student learning
practices.
Faculty and instructors from
any
discipline have the opportunity to
teach in the ATLAS building.
The ATLAS building features a
variety of innovative and creative
instructional spaces:
• The 150-seat auditorium
on the first floor features theater
seating, a smart podium,
and a full projection booth at the
rear of the auditorium. The state of-
the-art projector offers split-screen
projection capabilities.
• The 25-seat and the 40-
seat classrooms feature reconfigurable chairs and tables,
digital projectors, whiteboards,
and 2-3 LCD flat screen panels in
breakout zones for small group
work, and a "smart" instructor
podium with controls for the
technology.
• Two classrooms feature distance
learning capabilities. The
40-seat classroom in Basement
Level 1 and the 150-seat
auditorium on the main floor are equipped with
three cameras each. In addition,
the ATLAS Board room and a separate smaller room on the
second floor feature videoconferencing
capabilities.
• Three carts of 15-25 laptops
each are available for checkout
to allow for individual or small
group computer work at a 1:1
ratio for the smaller classrooms,
and a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio for the larger.
Laptops are equipped with
software for word processing,
collaborative learning, graphic
image manipulation (Photoshop)
and Web site design (Dreamweaver).
• The building also includes
eleven flexibly-scheduled student
design and student project
spaces, a student lounge on the
second fl oor, and shared computer
editing and graphics facilities.
Students and faculty also can
interact in Kay's Cafe, located
adjacent to the lobby.
