Tuesday, March 7.

Co-sponsor: Science Complex Design Team

How do the designs of our classrooms influence our teaching? As we plan a new science center, and the subsequent remodeling of the current science center, there is no better time to ask this question. In this session, architect James Baird will show us a range of classroom designs that have been used in other places and/or discussed for use at St. Olaf. (He and his firm are the architects of our new science center.) Come and see the design options for the rooms in which you may teach some day. Roberta Lembke and Matt Richey will offer initial comments about classroom design and the role of technology. Then the floor will be open for our questions and concerns.
