3H.10 is the first of Dawson’s 2nd generation high-tech Active Learning Classroom.

It was built in 2018 and was a refined version of a 2nd generation high-tech AL classroom (3F.38) but features Nureva interactive touch screens that includes a continuous Span Wall technology. 

Design Layout (for more about the design features of this room click here)

• 7 student oval-like tables with 6-7 chairs (on casters) per table for a total room capacity of up to 49 students;
• A horse-shoe arrangement of tables with an open area in the centre;
• Coloured flooring to delineate the horse-shoe room arrangement;
• Colour coding for each table/Nureva group that is identified by coloured wall segments above each board;
• A small teacher podium on casters that holds the teacher’s wireless keyboard and mouse and has room for books and notes.

Technology, Lighting & Sound

• 8 wall-mounted Nureva Wall surfaces (one per student table + one for the teacher) around the perimeter of the room, each with a networked computer PC (mounted just below each Nureva Board) and wireless keyboards and mouse on each table.
