We are excited to announce the grand opening of our newly renovated lecture space inside Goodnight Hall! The classroom is open and ready for use this semester.
The lecture hall was completely remodeled, overhauling the classroom space to improve the student experience. The space boasts all new and expanded seating, a new teaching podium, new carpeting and furniture, energy-efficient lighting, and the latest technology.
We added a classroom support area that allows us to better host lunchtime and evening classes, and add much needed storage space!
One important piece of new technology added to the classroom is a hearing loop. A hearing loop (or induction loop) is an assistive listening system that transmits sound directly from a microphone or audio source to a person’s hearing aid or cochlear implant, eliminating background noise. It works via a magnetic field generated by a copper wire installed around a room underneath the flooring, which is picked up by a tiny receiver (telecoil) in the user’s device.
This project completes our renovations of classrooms, learning labs, computer labs, and student spaces. We hope faculty and students will enjoy all of the recent improvements and we invite the alumni back to explore the new updates. A special “thank you” to L&S and the Instructional Laboratory Modernization (ILM) program for their funding and support for these much needed renovations.
On Wisconsin!
