This spring, students in ARCH 132 collaborated with staff from the
Center for Academic Computing to design and implement innovative
artifacts to support information technology. Some they demonstrated
last week included: a mobile technology cart that incorporates
wireless network technology and laptop computing to permit
indoor/outdoor technology classroom experiences and an express access
kiosks for the HUB. Other innovations were technology lecterns and
podiums for classrooms; a media kiosk for the Computer Building; and
special furniture to support individual and collaborative computing
in student computer labs. The hands-on design studio was developed by
Professor James Kalsbeek to help students hone their client
interaction and design skills as well as enhance their understanding
of construction materials and fastening techniques.
