You can use our Tech Lab, a shared spaced for education majors to work. This space is located in the Main Building in Room 176 and is open to students looking for a quiet space to work individually or a place to gather with peers and work collaboratively.
This room is filled with all kinds of things teachers need: magazines, puppets, instructional aids, textbooks, fiction and nonfiction book collections, computers, printers, scanners, audiovisual items, and even children’s literature. There are tables to spread out to work and wifi available.
The Tech Lab is often used for education classes but can be reserved by appointment.
To reserve this room, please call 765-455-9286.
