Learning Lab Classroom

About the Room

Use Policy

  • The Library Instruction Program receives priority in the use of the Learning Lab Classroom.
  • The room may be reserved for one-time use by instructors and groups, with priority given to instructional use and to those needing the technology in the room to enhance the class or meeting.
  • When not reserved, the classroom space will be open as an additional study space for students. 

The Student Worker Information page has more information about the set up procedures.

For Learning Lab Classroom location directions, you can send this floor map of lower level 1 to the instructors and students.

Classroom Set Up Styles

Occupancy

The classroom supports groups of up to 25 individuals. There are 24 individual style tables and chairs that can be rearranged suit your teaching style. There is also 1 mobile instructor podium. 

Learning Lab Classroom Set Up Option A

Classroom style set up. Option A has room in the back to roll in 2 tables and 4 chairs from the HCLC Community Room if a class has more than 24 students. 

Learning Lab Classroom Option B

Pod style set up. This will be the default set up for the Learning Lab Classroom. If you don't specify a set up option on the Learning Lab Classroom calendar, then the Outreach students will leave the classroom set up as Option B.  

Technology

The area is stocked with a cart of computers and a podium. These don't live in any closet, so both are locked when not in use. Both the LET student workers and the Learning Lab student workers have keys to unlock the laptop cart and the podium.

Laptop Computers

There are 25 re-purposed Mac laptops that came from LL123 that can be set up for library instruction in the Learning Lab Classroom. Eric said that LL123 has 30 Dell laptops, and that the leftover can be used in the Learning Lab Classroom if the class is bigger than 25.
