Key Elements
Classroom Design
Key Elements
I. Classrooms belong to the University, not a specific school or group. As such, they should have a standard level of performance and quality.
II. Classroom design should be forward-thinking and support the University’s pedagogical stance towards practice-ready education.
III. All design elements should be mindful of the original architecture of the building at 536 Mission Street, and help support the Brutalist aesthetic.

Key Outcomes for Today
What are the essential components of a classroom at Golden Gate University?
What are some of the components that are not essential but good to have?
What do we want in some rooms that can be modular/mobile, and possibly moved from room to room?
