Classroom Technology Standards

Small Classrooms vary in size from about 20 to 39 student stations. They are small enough to permit flexibility in seating arrangement and can accommodate various teaching formats—discussion, small group interaction, demonstration and lecture. Classrooms are usually equipped with movable student seating, either tables and chairs or tablet arm chairs. They should have an identifiable teaching wall with marker board, one or more projection screens, telephone and data connections. If instructional technology systems are not installed during construction, rough-ins for video projectors and other equipment must be provided. It should include an instructor’s station, with desk or table, chair and tabletop or floor lectern near the teaching wall.

Large classrooms vary in size from about 40 to 79 student stations. Classrooms of this size are usually equipped and configured for instruction in the lecture format. At the upper end of the size range, sloped or tiered floors should be considered to improve sight lines. Fixed seating, either at tables or tablet-arm chairs, is generally required to maintain aisle widths established by fire and life-safety codes. Large classrooms have an identifiable teaching wall with main marker board, one or more projector screens and telecommunication connections. If instructional technology systems are not installed during construction, rough-ins for video projectors and other equipment must be provided. An instructor's station with desk or table, chair and lectern possibly equipped with lighting, sound and audio-visual equipment controls is located near the teaching wall. A fixed audio-visual equipment console is desirable in large classrooms.

Lecture halls have a student seating capacity of 80 or more, fixed seating, sloped or tiered floors, and are often specially shaped for acoustical and line-of-sight considerations. The size of lecture halls usually necessitates the use of visual and audio reinforcement to communicate the educational message adequately. Specialists in acoustics and audio-visual equipment should always be included on the design team for lecture hall facilities. A very large lecture hall, sometimes referred to as a teaching auditorium, may have a stage or raised platform presentation area and can serve as a performance venue.
