Update: Four classrooms have been selected for Su26 renovation. Plans, which were shared with the departments that have been heavy users of these classrooms over the past three years, have been developed after receiving and responding to department input, and bids are being secured.

The Registrar’s Office is assessing whether more complete adherence to the time grid would reduce the number of unplaced classes and if improvements to 25Live could provide opportunities for using attributes (ex. Classroom types) to further reduce the number of unplaced classes and provide faculty and students with classroom spaces that support instructional needs.

Campus Planning/AV Services are working with the committee to create a shared language of classroom type and attributes that highlight the distinctions that are important for schedulers and instructors, based on teaching and learning needs. The Classroom Committee, Registrar’s Office, Campus Planning, and AV Services will work with people (schedulers, faculty) and technology (25Live, PeopleSoft, and community facing websites) to ensure that terminology matches across all systems.
