The University Teaching Lab Working Group (Utlwg) enhances teaching and learning at McGill by prioritizing teaching lab projects for funding that are aligned with University strategic directions and principles of good pedagogy.
Transforming our campuses’ physical spaces is one of the McGill Principal's Five Priorities:
“Improving the University’s classrooms and teaching labs by undertaking major renovations and equipment renewal and including ‘active,’ collaborative and innovative teaching environments. This is a continuation of work already being done by Teaching and Learning Spaces working groups.”

Project Description:
This project is to renovate Labs 1295, 1299 (upgrade the classroom to improve the students experience and improve the AV technology as well as the lighting, furniture and ventilation).
Project Scope:
(Former project 19-123) This project is to renovate Labs 1295, 1299 funded by TLS.
As per TLS and users requirements, this project is to upgrade the classroom to improve the students experience and improve the AV technology as well as the furniture (flexible, for classes and individual tests) respecting a max capacity of 25 for classrooms # 1295 and # 1299. Also remove old and noisy ventilation units from the ceiling, and renovate the ventilation.
