Facilities in the Collaborative Classroom

Layout and Furniture

Tables and chairs: The CC has 10 hexagonal tables, each seating 6 students. It also has 60 swivel chairs.

Reconfigurable layout: Each hexagonal table is made of two half-hexagonal tables which can move independently. While the default configuration is shown below, the tables can be re-arranged to make other configurations.

Laptop charging points: To enable reconfiguration, the tables do not have electrical points. However, the classroom has 10 extension cords with which can be used to provide power for laptops placed on the tables.

AV Equipment

There are four TV screens in the CC for projection: two on either side of the stage and two on the sides of the room. A sound system consisting of six speakers (2 wall-mounted, 4 ceiling-mounted) is also installed.

Laptops

By September 2022, the classroom will be equipped with 20 laptops which can be used for computer-based exercises. The idea is that each of the 10 tables will have two laptops each.
