Classroom in the Round

Room 2420

Classroom-in-the-Round Floorplan Rendering Classroom-in-the-Round Floorplan

This unique, innovative classroom is modeled after the “theatre-in-the-round” concept and provides an interactive and intimate teaching and learning experience for both instructors and students. In this room, the instructor teaches from the center of the room and is able to connect with students in the back row who are only five rows away. Students throughout the room have clear sight lines to the circular display above and to each other.

  • 190-seats
  • Flat floor
  • Fixed tables
  • Movable seating (on casters)
  • 12 projectors with circular display

Note: Because the classroom in the round (room 2420) has such specialized technology and a complex display screen, use of this room requires instructor/speaker training, significant lead time for instructor/speaker preparation, and time to configure content for display.
