A renovation of a classroom space within a learning hospital, the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) Lecture Hall blurs the line between healthcare and higher education. Upgrades to the technology within the space streamline and improve how classes are taught. New AV equipment, like the large screens at the front and back of the auditorium for presenters to reference, and a camera that allows for lectures to be recorded and live-streamed accommodate both in-person and remote learning styles, expand the potential class size for the program. Acoustical panels line the walls to dampen noise and reduce volume within the classroom, increasing student focus. They are layered in different patterns and groups of different sizes to provide interesting stimuli to the students and faculty, rather than just flatly covering the walls. New solutions for window coverings were also added to the lecture hall. Two layers of dual roller shades hide in a recessed pocket above the ceiling – one is more translucent than the other, allowing for light to enter the classroom while blocking any distractions from outside, while the other is darker to facilitate presentations. No matter what level of light is filtered into the classroom, it is still an open and engaging learning space. Since the lecture hall’s previous design did not meet the latest accessibility requirements, the space’s upgrade works overtime to ensure that students of all abilities can utilize the lecture hall. New steps leading up to the rows of seats are spaced at an accessible height, with grab bars on both sides. A protective gate was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to prevent anyone from falling through it. In the front of the room, movable desks in front of the partial height wall allow students in wheelchairs to comfortably sit and plug their laptops into outlets. Even though it was an interior renovation, the updated accessibility considerations continue outside of the lecture hall. A new walkway and retaining wall outside of the first-floor auditorium guides students inside, ensuring accessibility from the front door of campus all the way into the classroom.
