Queen's Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science - Integrated Learning Centre

Integrated Learning Centre

The Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science's newest building, the Integrated Learning Centre, was officially opened in June 2004 as Beamish-Munro Hall. This unique facility designed to support and stimulate undergraduate learning includes multi-purpose rooms, shared teaching laboratories, prototyping workshop rooms, convenient space for students to work on projects together, environmentally-sustainable features, Live Building systems through which the building itself can be used as a learning tool, and a three-storey-high Living wall which acts as a biofilter. Most of the rooms as well as laboratories can be used freely, and some of them can be booked. The Tea Room is a student-run café with objectives of environmental sustainability, opened in the Integrated Learning Centre in the fall of 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words integrated, learning and/or centre:

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    The child amidst his baubles is learning the action of light, motion, gravity, muscular force; and in the game of human life, love, fear, justice, appetite, man, and God, interact.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
