Learning Space Design Classifications

A Steinhardt Learning Space is any classroom, conference room, huddle space, office, or clinical space with installed technology in a Steinhardt location. This is across research, academic and administrative departments. This article will go over the varying levels of design and complexity that go into creating them.

 

Standard Learning Space

  • This design has a single projector or digital display.
  • The inputs are a room computer and an HDMI connection for laptops and other devices.
  • Two wall-mounted speakers handle audio.
  • Web conferencing can be added. It will be based on an all-in-one web camera.
  • A Crestron control system is not needed.

Intermediary Learning Space

  • This design has a single projector or digital display.
  • The inputs may vary and include a room computer, multiple HDMI connections for laptops and other devices throughout the room, and a device for wireless content sharing (Solstice/AirMedia)
  • Audio can be handled through wall-mounted speakers or ceiling-mounted and can be placed throughout the space.
  • Web Conferencing can be added. It will be based on independent cameras and microphones working separately for greater control.
  • A Crestron control system is needed to provide full control of the system. This will include automation for an evening shutdown, and camera presets.

Advance Learning Space

  • This design can have multiple combinations of projectors and digital displays.
  • The inputs may vary and include a room computer, multiple HDMI connections for laptops and other devices throughout the room, and a device for wireless content sharing (Solstice/AirMedia)
  • Audio can be handled through wall-mounted speakers or ceiling-mounted and can be placed throughout the space.
  • Depending on the size of the room, localized microphones can be included at a podium or wireless units.
  • Web Conferencing can be added. It will be based on independent cameras and microphones working separately for greater control. Multiple cameras can be added to capture different views.
  • A Crestron control system is needed to provide full control of the system. This will include automation for an evening shut down, and camera presets.
