加强学院对远程教学和计算机学习的承诺，新增3万平方米。英国“金融时报”。科技教室是校园内众多无线数据建筑中的第一座，包括适应未来技术的基础设施。有了无线基础设施，技术教室建筑象征性地代表了技术在我们的生活中的融合-从教室、走廊和室外空间无缝结合的方式就可以清楚地描述出来。该设计鼓励多种户外体验，通过广场和庭院内的各种座位区域。在内部，超宽的走廊延伸到教室以外的建筑，通过与景观的视觉和物理连接来消除内外之间的门槛。通过正式和非正式学习空间的成功开发，该项目促进了同学和教师之间的协作和相互联系。

Reinforcing the college’s commitment to advanced instruction through distance and computer learning, the new 30,000 sq. ft. technology classroom building serves as the first of many wireless data buildings on campus and includes infrastructure to accommodate future technology. With its wireless infrastructure, the technology classroom building symbolically represents the integration of technology in our lives -- clearly depicted by the way classrooms, corridors and outdoor spaces are seamlessly woven together. The design encourages multiple outdoor experiences through a variety of seating areas within the plazas and courtyards. Internally, the extra wide corridors extend the building beyond the classroom, dissolving the threshold between inside and out via a visual and physical connection to the landscape. Through the successful development of formal and informal learning spaces, the project promotes collaboration and interconnection between classmates and faculty.

目前的技术被整合到教室、走廊和室外空间中，以提供适应性强、多功能的空间使用。庭院和广场提供无线接入，以提供室外学习和额外的教学空间。集体学习区聚集在大楼内外，以鼓励学生留在校园内，从而促进与同学和教师的非正式互动。该设计提供了教育和公共空间的混合体，创造了“主动”的社会空间和“被动的”学习空间。提供安静和半安静的空间来支持个人、团体和课堂环境。

Current technology is integrated into classrooms, corridors and outdoor spaces to provide adaptable, multifunctional use of space. Wireless access is available in the courtyard and plazas to provide outdoor learning and additional instructional space. Group study areas are clustered in and around the building to encourage students to remain on campus thereby promoting informal interaction with classmates and faculty. Providing a mixture of both educational and public spaces, the design creates “active” social spaces and “passive” study spaces. Quiet and semi-quiet space is provided to support individual, group, and classroom environments.
