Opened in August 2021, the Fletcher Jones Foundation Computing Classroom is a state-of-the-art digital collaboration lab that provides an important resource not only for Occidental’s popular Computer Science Department but for a wide variety of interdisciplinary work. Built on the ground floor of the Academic Commons in what was previously an underutilized space, the classroom’s suite of academic software, multiple projection screens, movable furniture and collapsible partitions make it a flexible space that can be used for lectures and discussions as well as project and team work. It doubles the size of the classroom space previously available for this kind of use.
