Monash University – Jock Marshall Reserve Dual Learning Labs
The Jock Marshall Reserve is a dedicated teaching and research area for Monash University’s School of Biological Science. Jock Marshall Reserve features laboratories with fully equipped tank rooms for aquatic based research and outdoor aviaries for viewing opportunities. Over the summer holidays, Jock Marshall Reserve saw the addition of a new facility, the Dual Learning Labs, a specialised facility for students to conduct classes, and carry out tests and experiments.
The new Dual Learning Labs feature 2 collaborative learning and lab workspaces, each seating 56 students. Each lab is equipped with 3 projectors displaying content on motorised projector screens, and includes wired and wireless presentation methods. Students and teachers are able to connect to the presentation system with their own devices to share and present information with each other. Ceiling speakers located above the centre of each table ensure the facilitator’s instructions can be heard by all students. To accommodate large class sizes, an operable wall allows the two labs to be combined into one large laboratory with a single AV system.
