Project Description

Refurbishment the lecture theatre in the law building

The need for lecture theatres in today's learning environment.

The lecture theatre is a traditional teaching and learning environment that allows a lot of people to learn in a short time compared to a traditional classroom.

The division of lecture theatre into more small volumes, each with its own function. In addition, The layout of the lecture theatre can be used to change the inadequacy of the current lecture theatre. With the vast majority of people now promoting interactive and flipped learning, new learning styles need to be matched with new lecture theatre layouts, where small group learning and discussions can focus students’ concentration and engage them in the learning process.

Space allows for greater functional flexibility, and by increasing the diversity of space, a shift in learning styles can be facilitated.
