Dedication set Friday, Nov. 3, for Spark Academic Innovation Hub

The Spark Academic Innovation Hub, WSU’s revolutionary new teaching and learning facility, will be dedicated Friday, Nov. 3, during a 3:30 p.m. ceremony.

The four-story, 83,295 square foot building is designed for maximum flexibility allowing spaces to be configured for learning across multiple disciplines and reconfigured to accommodate changing needs. It includes both formal and informal learning spaces for small- and large-group learning.

It opened this fall and enables faculty to use the most innovative technology to help motivate students to engage deeply in learning.

A committee of WSU faculty, students and staff worked collaboratively to create the vision and identify goals of the digital classroom building. The building embodies a space where technology will be used to enhance learning, for current and future Cougars.
