Summer Classroom Update
The Learning Technologies Team of IT Services would like to welcome you back to campus with a Classroom Update. Over the summer numerous teams from IT Services were hard at work building, upgrading and performing maintenance in classrooms across campus.
Classroom technology is a core component of a modern academic instruction. Well-designed, up-to-date classrooms and teaching technology help to set the stage for a good learning environment. Such an environment contributes to increased teaching options for instructors and better student engagement and achievement for students. Truman has designated three core classroom levels to provide appropriate technologies for a variety of teaching styles. Significant work to improve classrooms was completed as follows:
Complete Classroom Builds – These rooms were either newly constructed spaces or had complete overhauls to the academic technology in the room.

Thank you to all those who made this massive summer project possible. First of all to the ITS teams, student workers and Physical Plant staff; but also to the contractors, the secretaries, the department chairs, the deans, the provost and President Paino. Your commitment to improving classrooms will have an impact far into the future of Truman.
