Project Overview

Being in the heart of Silicon Valley, it鈥檚 important that our campus spaces reflect the technology-driven ethos of the region and that our students are prepared for tomorrow鈥檚 careers. In fall 2024, President Teniente-Matson announced that we will be assessing and developing a plan to upgrade our classrooms and future-proof our technology. Our university will be creating a strategy roadmap based on the needs of our students, faculty, and staff in classrooms and all teaching and learning spaces across our campus. We must equip our university learning spaces to empower the education experiences of future pedagogies.

Classroom and Learning Space Technology Upgrade

Working alongside Academic Affairs, 91吃瓜 IT is identifying classrooms to implement an A/V Classroom Technology Standard. Completion for these technology upgrades is targeted for the start of Fall 2025. Our focus is on high impact and high utilization learning spaces to maximize early efforts.

Classrooms to be upgraded during summer 2025 include:

Building	Rooms
Boccardo Business Complex	103, 105, 130, 203, 225, 323, 324, 326
Dudley Moorhead Hall	161, 163, 164, 208, 348, 355, 357, 358
Hugh Gillis Hall	225, 229
Sweeney Hall	241, 312, 346, 347, 413, 414, 431
Duncan Hall	306, 318, 415
MacQuarrie Hall	423, 424, 520
Other	Clark Hall 117, Music 161, Engineering 401, Dwight Bentel Hall 133

LSUATS

The Learning Space Upgrade and Academic Technology Strategy (LSUATS) initiative began with a 10-week project, launched in September 2024 and concluding in November 2024. Deloitte collaborated with students, faculty, staff, stakeholders, and pedagogy experts to conduct a thorough current state assessment, develop a strategic vision and plan for the future, and create a multi-year implementation roadmap.

Phase 1: Current State Assessment
- Conducted a thorough assessment of current state.
  
  Activities: Gathered and analyzed data, facilitate dinterviews and feedback sessions, hosted campus-wide townhall, and collected survey results to amass a diverse set of views and perspectives across 91吃瓜.
  
  Outcomes: Create a comprehensive report focused on 91吃瓜鈥檚 current challenges and gaps to inform the future state vision. Develop and socialize detailed findings and observations that effectively articulate the challenges and gaps in 91吃瓜鈥檚 current academic technology footprint.
Phase 2: Future State Vision & Recommendations
- Created future state vision and recommendations.
  
  Activities: Socialized outputs of phase 1 and facilitated future state vision lab to understand needs and wants of stakeholders. Conducted peer benchmarking and case studies to inform development of recommendations.
  
  Outcome: Define guiding principles and future state vision for academic technology. Provide case studies to inform vision. Guide vision with detailed recommendations to realize the desired future state.
Phase 3: Roadmap & Final Report
- Developed multi-year roadmap and final report.
  
  Activities: Prioritized and sequenced initiatives with dependencies across a multi-year roadmap to achieve overall goals and opportunities for academic technology. Hosted campus-wide townhall to socialize outputs.
  
  Outcome: Develop final report, inclusive of a multiyear roadmap and implementation plan, with cost estimates to achieve desired vision. Socialize PMO, OCM, and adoption best practices to support longterm deployment.
