Autumn 2025 Classrooms Update. Year 5 of 7: Extensive updates are complete in McCullough and Pigott halls. 2025 will be the inaugural opening year for University Classrooms in both the Computer and Data Science building (CoDa) and the Graduate School of Education's classrooms in the Angela Nomellini & Ken Olivier building (known as ANKO). Upgrades in progress and new classrooms planned for Autumn 2025. By the end of summer 2025, we will have addressed deferred maintenance in 132 (77%) of the University Classroom pool. We are on track to complete Round 1 of the 7 year refresh cycle on time (FY27). 60-107 and 60-108 have been merged to form one new, larger classroom.

Autumn 2024 Classrooms Update. As of Autumn 2024 we have refreshed 107 of the 172 University Classrooms (62%). Refreshed rooms include University Classrooms in Building 70, 370, Margaret Jacks, Mechanical Engineering, Blume Earthquake Center, Dinkelspiel, Shriram, Y2E2, Encina, and Turing. Read the full SCR Program Update as of January 2025.
In partnership with LBRE, we are pleased to open five new classrooms and new study space in the Lathrop Library basement.
Classroom Clocks. As classroom AV is refreshed, clocks are securely installed. Because the new power-over-ethernet (POE) clocks are tied to the local time server, time.stanford.edu, clocks will not require biannual time change or battery change. For classrooms that have not yet been refreshed, new battery-powered clocks have been hung as a stop gap measure.
The Classroom Access Discovery Project recommends a multi-prong approach to increasing access and utilization of University Classrooms. Subsequent Capital Plan funding has launched a multi-year program to install new Lenel readers and rekey doors to facilitate classroom access while providing building security, and improve lock out response protocols and training. Lenel readers are being added to priority classrooms beginning Spring break 2025. Student Academic Services is partnering with LBRE Facilities and the IT Operations Center (ITOC) to review and streamline lock out response protocols.
