Collaboration Rooms

New Spaces for Students to Work Together

When you need to do active work in your group, try out the new KSL Collaboration Rooms. Formerly the Group Study Rooms and now redesigned with lots of new technology, your learning together can be much more active now.

Work together and  hook up your laptop to wall-mounted  42" LED TV so your project can be seen by everyone in your group. A wall-panel control unit lets you hook up for HDMI, VDA, and composite ports. When you stop at the KSL Main Service Desk with your group to check out a room key, you can borrow the cable to hook up your laptop. Older laptops will work well with the VGA cable. 

Collaboration Rooms are on the 3rd floor and Lower Level, and have whiteboards so you can take notes  or get creative while your other work is on the monitor. Whatever your group work style, the newly refurbished spaces are sure to spark new energy and work. Check one out today!
