Recent classroom renovations and upgrades
Winter break provided the Office of Classroom Management an opportunity to access classrooms and complete projects while they weren't consistently being used. Technology life-cycle upgrades are underway in Folwell Hall and will continue through the spring semester. Keller 3-115 also received a technology upgrade which improved the student experience by utilizing large-screen display monitors.
Tate Laboratory of Physics on the East Bank will go offline for two years following spring 2015 final exam week. Tate currently has nine classrooms, including five lecture halls that each seat more than 100 students. The Office of Classroom Management is partnering with the Academic Health Center and other departments to accommodate some of the classes that would have met in Tate, with the majority of Physics and Astronomy department classes moving to the West Bank during construction.
These course shifts will have a ripple effect, moving course sections across the entire Minneapolis campus classroom inventory.
How to locate your classroom assignment
Room assignments for spring 2015 classes are available on the One Stop Class Schedule.
Please note: Room assignments are subject to change prior to the start of term. While this usually only affects a small number of classes, verify your classroom assignment before the first class meeting. If you have specific questions about your room assignment, contact your department scheduling coordinator.
Classroom technology instructions and videos
The classroom technology instructions for each building provide a list of equipment and additional features, as well as a representative image of the instructor station in each classroom. Orientation is available upon request for those who want to learn more about the technology features. For any questions, contact OCM Classroom Support.
2015 PeopleSoft Upgrade
