The CLC Learning Studio is Transformed!

filed under News March 31st, 2008 Richard Anderson

The Learning Studio, the City Learning Centre’s main teaching space for our work with schools, has been transformed during the Spring Term. The new design features:

  • Five large tables, purpose-built to each house six PCs and two 24″ iMacs
  • Completely flexible desk designs. Each PC is hidden within the desk, and can be lifted up individually or hidden again as required. The iMacs similarly hide within the desks and are lifted by a remote control system. This gives access to ICT resources on demand, while allowing non-ICT activities to be carried out on large, clear table surfaces
  • A permanent staging area with tiered seating and large screen

The redesign makes the Learning Studio a far more effective learning and teaching space, easing movement around the room, and facilitating collaborative or individual work, or group presentations.

Here are some shots of the transformation as it happened.
