You  have  the  opportunity  to  build  learning  environments  that  address  the  21st  Century  and  prepare  students  and  teachers  for  our  global  economy.

The  innova5ve  design  approach  is  an  outgrowth  of  the  collabora5on  between  the  university  or  community  college  campus  and  community  engagement,  as  the  boundaries  blur,  to  benefit  and  serve  the  whole  community.    The  Center’s  construc5on  becomes  a  living,  touchable  example  of  green  design  and  sustainability,  a  flexible  learning  environment.      Teachers  and  students  alike  are  surrounded  by  technology  and  a  silent  curriculum.  The  facility,  a  “Three-­‐dimensional  Textbook”,  brings  to  life  phenomena  typically  only  studied  in  textbooks.  The  project    brings  together  mul5ple  "best  prac5ces"  crea5ng  an  orchestrated  immersion  into  a  modern  21st  Century  learning  environment.    

The  state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art,  comprehensive  Technology  Learning  Center  design  focuses  across  disciplines  and  nurtures  independent,  self-­‐directed  learners  with  an  understanding  of  evolving  technology.          The  mul5sensory  design  focuses  on  the  applica5on  and  integra5on  of  technology  across  disciplines  through  hands-­‐on  learning.      

The  mul5use  design  has  many  other  applica5ons  across  campus  and  is  an  ideal  focal  point  for  a  university  or  community  college.  The  Technology  Learning  Center  provides  an  ideal  seLng  for  Public/Private  partnerships,  including  funding  and  introduces  building  revenue-­‐producing  opportuni5es.  

“What  you  don’t  touch,                                you  see.”
