Innovative teaching and learning spaces

The Library is home to several innovate learning spaces that can be booked by staff and students to run designated collaborative and active learning activities, workshops or events.

Wonder Lab

This space has been designed for active and collaborative learning, accommodating up to four groups for presentations, breakout discussions, and hands-on workshops. The table height can be adjusted for flexible setups, and the foldable wall doubles as a whiteboard. Each group has access to a touch screen, and a touch table is also available for interactive collaboration. The design encourages movement and interaction, with furniture and technology working together to support different teaching and learning styles.
