Spaces for on-campus learning

Designed to support both informal and formal learning, UTS spaces are inspired by UTS's learning.futures strategy and provide students and staff with dynamic physical spaces to collaborate and interact.

Take a look at just some of the innovative learning spaces for students. And of course, you are welcome to wander through the campus and witness the vibrant learning spaces in-action.

Large Collaborative Classrooms
Carefully designed to make 'large classes feel small', these world-first large classrooms (198 - 350 capacity) support active and collaborative learning and teaching at scale. Classes of up to 350 students can break into smaller 'zones', with each zone equipped with multiple presenter pods that support collaborative group work both within the smaller zone and the larger group.

UTS learning spaces: A students' perspective

Space around UTS

Zoe Ferguson:

I think the spaces at UTS bring a very comfortable and versatile aspect to uni for students. There are lots of different buildings on different levels and lots of different facilities. I think its great because there are lots of pod areas where there are computers and big tables and chairs so you can do group work and you can see your work on the screen which is really great and also there are cafes around so you can have a very social study aspect as well.
