The Active Learning Classroom is available to book for events, including conferences, meetings, seminars, and workshops.
The room is prioritized for events that involve high levels of participation, collaboration, creative engagement, and is not suited for traditional lecture-style formats, presentations or panel discussions.
As the capacity is limited (52 persons), the Active Learning Classroom may not be suitable for all events. The Classroom is also in high demand, and not all requests can be accommodated.
It is recommended that you submit your request a minimum of four (4) weeks prior to the event start date and provide as much detail as possible about your event.
If you are interested in using the Active Learning Classroom for your event, please consult the (google sheet) ALC booking availability (external link) and complete the linked form above.
Overview of Active Learning Classroom Booking Process
