Classroom redesign 130225
The document discusses plans to redesign classrooms at Golden Gate University. It covers key elements of classroom design including furniture, storage, technology, utilities, and circulation. The agenda includes an introduction and a discussion of classroom design. Best practices from other schools and examples of existing GGU classrooms are presented. Components like tiered seating, moveable furniture, acoustic panels, and primary teaching walls are highlighted. Next steps in the project will also be discussed.

- 4. Classroom Design Key Elements Key Elements I. Classrooms belong to the University, not a specific school or group. As such, they should have a standard level of performance and quality. II. Classroom design should be forward-thinking and support the University’s pedagogical stance towards practice-ready education. III. All design elements should be mindful of the original architecture of the building at 536 Mission Street, and help support the Brutalist aesthetic. proprietary and confidential Golden Gate University SF Remodel Project Phase 7-9 4
- 5. Classroom Design Key Elements Key Outcomes for Today What are the essential components of a classroom at Golden Gate University? What are some of the components that are not essential but good to have? What do we want in some rooms that can be modular/mobile, and possibly moved from room to room? proprietary and confidential Golden Gate University SF Remodel Project Phase 7-9 5
