There are 8 classrooms (1221, 2104, 2108, 2204, 2210, 2213, 2222, 2227), 2 review spaces (East and West) and 1 video conference/telepresence room (2224) in Taubman College. Each space is equipped with projection and audio for classroom instruction. There are no computers or DVD players in any of the spaces.
With the start of Fall 2017 all classrooms and review spaces will include high-resolution laser projectors supporting current digital outputs (e.g. HDMI, DisplayPort), as well as earlier VGA technology. Since architecture and planning instruction relies heavily on detailed imagery, geographical information and data, these upgrades will provide the best possible instructional experience for both faculty and students. User instructions are posted in each room.
