Creating
Templates
In
2003, UIC embarked on a new program for classroom renovation,
its goal: to provide the university with learning spaces that are
flexible, functional, and attractive. Responding to the inadequacies
of East Campus classrooms and drawing on extensive interviews with
faculty and students, the program has renovated a variety of different
kinds of general use classrooms (11 in all) in order to create
templates on which future renovations could be based.
Setting
a Standard
These
rooms, used by a range of academic disciplines from Chemistry
to Classics to Information and Decision Sciences, include lecture
halls (SES 238, BSB 315), lecture and discussion classrooms (BH
208, TH 208, 212, 216, SH 312), a language teaching classroom (LH
104), and seminar rooms (BSB 135, LH 100). There are rooms with
fixed seating and rooms with flexible seating, rooms with the latest
electronic technology (BH 208, SES 238) and a room with the latest
in multipurpose chairs (LH 104).
Each classroom
contains the latest improvements in lighting, acoustics, flexible
furniture, sturdy and attractive flooring, functional, maintainable
writing surfaces, and each room meets ADA requirements. The colors
and textures have been chosen to maximize the attractiveness
and functionality of the space, and great attention has been
paid to detail.
