The Reinvention Centre at Westwood is a classroom which is available for teaching use by any member of the University. It is located at the centre of the University of Warwick’s Westwood campus.
The room was designed and refurbished by the Reinvention Centre in 2006 in order to provide an open, creative space for a range of teaching and learning activities. The room provides 120m2 of floor space with flexible, moveable furniture. This makes it easy for users themselves to transform the shape and purpose of the room, and the open design and layout facilitates active learning and interaction between students and teachers.
The room is very light. The design makes maximum use of natural light from windows in the walls and roof. In addition there is a sophisticated lighting system including spotlights embedded in the floor and lights shining up into the rafters. This enables the room to be used for different functions and creates diverse ambiences. Fresh air circulates via two 'windcatchers' in the roof and the rubber floor is heated to make it a surface on which teachers and students can, if they wish to, work.
The room is wireless enabled and a small number of laptops are available for use in the room. There are two data projectors, and an excellent sound system. See the Facilities page for a list of equipment and further information.
This teaching space is available for teaching and related activities by all members of the university. If you would like to use the space, please complete the 'request authorisation to make bookings' form. If you have any queries, please contact iatl dot spaces at warwick dot ac dot uk.
