Space Design for Active Learning

This guide was created to provide access to the resources and "lessons learned" we encountered throughout the process of redesigning our library classroom into an active learning classroom. If you are tackling a classroom redesign project - check it out!

To Consider...

Furnishings and Technology:

  • Choose ADA compliant furnishings that match tables and chairs selected for the space
  • Consider both the physical space and the technology
  • Provide larger monitors
  • If using laptops - provide external mice and keyboards
  • Consult with Disability Resources at your institution for help!

Our Tables

A D A table

This is a group of tables with an ADA table included (on the right side of the picture). We purposefully incorporated the ADA table into the groups and did not put them on their own off to the side. We also purchased bigger size laptops to go with the ADA table, and there are wireless keyboards and mice available for use.
