Center for High Performance Learning Environments
 In
collaboration with Labs21 and the Institute
for Connecting Science Research to the Classroom ,
the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech has
created a new Center
for High Performance Learning Environments.
The Center will serve as a first-of-its-kind resource for designers,
engineers, system consultants, teachers, school administrators,
facility managers, and others interested in improving the design
and operation of K through 16 learning environments.
The Center will take a holistic approach to the design of teaching
laboratories and focus on a range of multidisciplinary activities,
including energy efficiency, sustainability, systems integration,
and integrating appropriate technology into a classroom of the 21st
century.
The Center is also working to establish strong relationships between
Virginia Tech's College of Architecture and Urban Studies and industry
partners, as well as architecture and engineering firms specializing
in the design of learning environments.
