Innovative learning and teaching facilities

PolyU is committed to a 10-year revitalization plan to renovate the lecture theatres, general teaching rooms and informal learning spaces on its main campus (starting from 2015), to address the surging needs for innovation and transformation in learning and teaching in the era of widespread technological change. Refitted and new spaces feature modern, comfortable, user-friendly, and interactive environment with movable furniture, extensive writing surfaces, enhanced acoustics, and upgraded technologies.
