The Classroom Review Board is comprised of 15 members, representing different perspectives and expertise, in support of maintaining the physical learning environment of the University. These groups include: faculty members, the Council of Deans, Facilities Management, the Division of IT, Office of the Registrar, College IT Administrators (CITAC), the Institute for Learning and Teaching, the Committee on Teaching and Learning, student chairs of the University Technology Fee Advisory Board (UTFAB) and the University Facilities Fee Advisory Board (UFFAB), and the Vice President for Information Technology. Also, the CRB has access to the information and expertise of the Office of Budgets as needed. The CRB is co-chaired by representatives of the Office of the Registrar and the Division of IT.

The Classroom Review Board receives assignments from the Provost and makes recommendations to that officer and is charged to:

  • Identify and articulate the need for the best possible environments for learning. Make timely recommendations for classroom equipment and other resources that will enhance learning. Make projections of student enrollment on classroom spaces as enrollment increases affect pedagogy and the general learning environment.

  • Make recommendations in a manner that will be useful in long-range facility planning, in the preparation of legislative requests, and for purposes of private fund-raising through the Division of University Advancement.
