> A unique Software Design Studio, using technology and industry to facilitate peer learning. Students will participate in industry-mentored projects throughout their degree, taking advantage of symbiotic learning spaces and agile design techniques that enable collaboration at UTS and beyond;
> A 3D Data Visualisation Arena, showcasing the latest in immersive technology. Built on the ground level of the Broadway Building, students will experience being “in the middle of a hologram”;
> Collaborative lecture theatres facilitating multiple forms of engagement, including lecture presentations, collaborative group work and technology-enabled activities.
The Broadway Building is, in itself a living, breathing laboratory, embedded with wireless sensors to monitor temperature, air quality, noise and dust particles. A group of research students at UTS are using this data for real-time research, and future course content.
Read more about your new Broadway Building here:http://uts.ac/139d6Ob
The University of Technology, Sydney is in the midst of a $1 billion City campus redevelopment, and our purpose-built, Broadway Building is at its epicentre. This new Engineering and IT building is the single largest in our City Campus Master Plan and will be ready for you in July 2014.
Filled with state-of-the-art teaching spaces, cutting-edge environmental features and collaborative student spaces, the Broadway Building has been designed to fuse technology with modern teaching, to support UTS’s model of learning and to cultivate the specific skills required for the Engineering and IT industries.
Features include:
> A dedicated Student Resource Hub - a rich learning environment for all students, offering group study areas, resources and tool kits to foster authentic workplace experiences and active learning;
