Learning & Teaching BuildingWhat's inside
The student journey
The whole idea of the Learning & Teaching building is to focus on all aspects of the student journey - from your very first days at Strathclyde to graduation and beyond.
In the new building, the majority of our student support services are available under one roof.
Take a look below at a selection of what the Learning and Teaching building has to offer.
State-of-the-art facilities for students
The Learning & Teaching building includes:
- a 400-seat lecture theatre with a sky wall divider
- break-out rooms for social learning
- tutorial rooms
- more than 50 small meeting and group work spaces (these spaces have the ability to beam content from group desks to main screen and vice-versa)
- rooms use high definition, wide-angle intelligent cameras. If your friends dial in on Zoom or Teams, you can see whoever is talking, even if they’re not directly in front of the screen
- LCD panels on trolleys - these allow you to turn almost any space in to a collaborative working space
- lecture theatres with high definition screens. The theatres have the ability to beam out audio and video to every other room in the building
Wellbeing & student support
As well as focussing on all aspects of the student journey, the Learning & Teaching building has a big emphasis on wellbeing. Student support services available in the building include:
- access, equality & inclusion
- accommodation desk
- careers & employability
- counselling
- disability & wellbeing
- international student support
- wellbeing room (including provision for yoga, meditation and hypnotherapy)
Our student support services have much more visibility in the new building and there's much greater flexibility between services.
Food & drink
The new building has plenty of options for keeping you nourished and refreshed! Take a look at some of the options below:
- 'Grab & Go’ counter for busy days when you want to eat well on the move. There are a wide variety of salad options and sandwiches
- Made to Order Counter where you can choose your food, your way. Food options include delicious soups, stews and curries with a great range of sides
- self-order on screens and relax, while we make your food!
- our coffee cart provides fresh, piping hot coffee and sweet treats when you’re taking a break from lectures or catching up with friends
Strathclyde Doctoral School
The Learning & Teaching building has a dedicated, University-wide space for our postgraduate researcher community at the heart of the campus.
The new space enables postgraduate students to meet and get together with others from across the faculties, as well as offering hot desk facilities for research students.
Based on Level 6 of the building, the space is flooded by natural light with great views across Glasgow! It's a space for events and training run by the University and the Doctoral Researchers Group.
Co-location with student-facing services, including student services and the Students' Union, means that postgraduate researchers have easy access to the wider facilities within the building, including state-of-the-art study and knowledge exchange spaces and a range of catering options.
We are constantly striving to enhance the experience of our postgraduate research community and we see this location within the Learning and Teaching Building as an important part of this. Our new space will be open and welcoming and we look forward to seeing you there soon.
