Teaching and Learning Spaces Outreach

Our classroom environment survey aims to collect information from faculty, students, and staff on the learning and teaching environment at Toronto Metropolitan University, and how classroom spaces meet the expectations of their users.

Consultations are ongoing with Toronto Metropolitan University’s Indigenous faculty, instructors, staff, undergraduate students, and graduate students about what features make learning spaces more supportive of Indigenous learners and Indigenous ways of knowing. This document is intended to support the integration of Indigenous cultural thinking into the design of learning spaces.

Our comprehensive consultation process included a set of town halls targeted at faculty, instructors, students, and staff, as well as an online survey that was sent out to the entire Toronto Metropolitan University community. 

The Teaching and Learning Spaces Working Group commissioned an audit of 165 general use classrooms on the Toronto Metropolitan University campus. The resulting report represents data collected during Winter 2020 reading week.

Members of the Centre for Excellence in Learning & Teaching and Facilities Management & Development conducted a series of site visits and meetings with Canadian universities and colleges who have undergone classroom redesign projects
