Center for High Performance Learning Environments
Wednesday, October 22
 In
collaboration with Laboratories for the 21st Century and the Institute
for Connecting Science Research to the Classroom, the College of
Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech is creating a new
Center for High Performance Learning Environments. The Center will
serve as a first-of-its-kind resource for designers, engineers,
system consultants, teachers, school administrators, facility managers,
and others interested in improving the design and operation of K
through 16 learning environments. Once established, the Center will
take a holistic approach to these teaching laboratories and focus
on a range of multidisciplinary activities, including:
- Energy efficiency,
- Sustainability,
- Systems integration,
- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) certification,
and
- Integrating appropriate technology into a classroom of the 21st
century.
- In addition, the Center seeks to establish strong relationships
between the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia
Tech and industrial partners, as well as architecture and engineering
firms specializing in the design of learning environments.
This informal breakfast meeting explored the new Center, and invited
attendeed to help shape its creation.
