In addition the classrooms would feature several overhead data projectors which will allow for multiple projections to various areas of the classroom. The new projectors will be hung at a higher angle to allow the professor to literally stand in front of the screen without blocking the image.
All rooms and hallways are at least 12 feet to the interior ceiling. - Click for larger image.
In addition, many classrooms are extra large and come equipped with automatic sliding walls so that they can be quickly and easily divided into two sections.
Sheridan’s new campus is on schedule for substantial completion by March 31, 2011, and will be open and ready to receive students in September. Located at 4180 Duke of York Boulevard in Mississauga, the Phase 1, four-storey building will total 156,000 square feet, and will accommodate up to 1,760 full-time students. Programming will focus on post-secondary and post-graduate business programs, with additional spaces reserved for English language training and academic upgrading to serve newcomers and workers in transition.
