Learning Commons
The Chan Kwok Wai and Fong Lam Hsu Faculty of Education Learning Commons (EDUC 120) within the Education Building is a dynamic study hub and conference venue of interconnected yet distinct study areas. State-of-the-art audiovisual pods, perfect for small working groups or collective study sessions, enable students to connect to a shared screen. Pods (121A through 121G) can be reserved in advance, online. Dedicated individual study spaces for reading, reflection, and independent work are also part of the Learning Commons as well as a new Computer Lab (EDUC 122). This transformation of the Learning Commons is largely thanks to a generous $1M donation from the Chan Kwok Wai Foundation.
