• Book a space to organise (hybrid) get-togethers on education and innovation.
• Join the Teaching Academy events to connect with peers and share developments and innovations in education.

The Teaching Academy Facilitation Team (TAFT) is present in the Teaching Lab to assist you.

You can enter the Teaching Lab with your campus card from 3 different entrances. The main entrance via Pulse, an entrance at the outdoor square (in front of IDE and the Teaching Lab), and a shortcut on the first floor for our support colleagues 
from Teaching & Learning Services and the Extension School so that they can easily support and connect to lecturers in the Teaching lab.

Whichever entrance you choose, always bear in mind that there may be sessions/ workshops taking place. The entrance via Pulse is the one that is least intrusive for sessions in the open Teaching Lab space.

When leaving the Teaching Lab, don’t forget to push the button for the doors to open.
