Classroom Scheduling is responsible for the scheduling and management of 319 university classrooms within 33 academic buildings across campus. In 2023, Classroom Scheduling was given the opportunity to improve the environments of the university classrooms in terms of seating, safety, and accessibility.
Improvements include the addition of accessible furniture and adjustable height tables, upgraded seating and desk spaces to create a more active learning environment, and the inclusion of additional safety features. These improvements will have a significant impact on student success and align with the university’s strategic plan goals of excellence in teaching and learning, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, and holistic well-being and success.
