Teaching and Learning Space Working Group
The purpose of the Teaching and Learning Space Working Group is to engage all classroom stakeholders across campus in identifying teaching and learning space needs at the university, establish standards for teaching and learning spaces, set priorities for the creation of new spaces and for renovating existing spaces. In order to do so, the Teaching and Learning Space Working Group has developed and regularly revises a comprehensive set of minimum classroom standards to ensure that all learning spaces are designed to align with the goals of the academic plan, develop a long term classroom renewal and renovation plan, and make decisions regarding classrooms transparent to the Toronto Metropolitan University community via this website.
