Built for the BU Physics program, this Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Students (SCALE-UP) merges several pre-existing labs into a single 2,200 SF lab and adjacent 2,800 SF study space.
Designed to seat 81 students, the technologically-rich environment merges all classroom computers and projectors onto one shared system, innovatively using the university’s extensive AV/IT data network. In this way, student laptops are leveraged into an interactive learning environment, rather than being a source of distraction. In support of the SCALE-UP teaching philosophy, the adjacent collaborative study area features open group work stations, lounge furniture, booths plus individual seating, and group study rooms.
