My Classroom

The Project

The goal of the My Classroom project is to transform our learning spaces into flexible, integrated and connected spaces that meet the current and future needs of our students and instructors. 

The Learning Space Design Committee embarked on a project in the Fall of 2018 to work with Diamond Schmitt Architects, leaders in learning space design, to evaluate 232 centrall managed spaces and determine how to aligh them to:

• SFU's strategic priorities
• Current trends in learning space design
• The needs of students and instructors

As part of this project, we heard from students, faculty and staff from all three campuses and here's what they had to say:

• furniture is static and doesn't accommodate different teaching modalities
• it's a challenge to schedule rooms that are fit for purpose, i.e. class size and format
• classrooms need to be flexible, adaptable, intuitive with furniture to support different teaching modalities and
• be supportive, accessible and inclusive to enhance learning and not adversly affect it
