Queen’s University supports over 130 centrally booked classroom spaces for academic, academic ad hoc and non academic bookings. Classrooms come in a range of capacities and layouts, from large tiered lecture halls to small rooms with flexible furniture for group tutorials. Although each classroom has different features, this page outlines the standard audio/visual (A/V) technology for teaching and learning.
Our aim is to standardize and simplify classroom A/V technology information and instructions on classroom technology, however we always suggest that you visit the specific classrooms for your course/event to familiarize yourself with the technology in the space.
Additional information about each classroom’s features for teaching and can be found by using the navigation menu at the top of the page and selecting the building on campus. Each building page will have detailed information on all central classrooms located within the building.
