Minimum Viable Classroom Standard
The Minimum Viable Classroom (MVC) concept will allow 91ÁÔÆæ to create a flexible, cost-effective learning space baseline equipped with essential technologies that enhance teaching and student engagement. It ensures that classrooms meet the basic needs of students & faculty, are adaptable to various teaching methods, and can be quickly upgraded or scaled to meet evolving educational needs. Working alongside campus partners, the LSUATS steering committee has developed preliminary core requirements for the MVC.
