(By Va’afusuaga Boese, Kenneth Ruit and Raya Rood. UND Today) – In its core value of LEARNING, UND commits to making sure it has the technology and physical spaces that students and faculty need to have “productive and enriching educational experiences.”

That’s why the University is home to more than 300 learning spaces, ranging from conference rooms to classrooms to auditoriums. We have more than 100 laboratory spaces, giving students the chance to explore fields such as health care, mineralogy, petrology, flight physiology, integrated biology, electronics, robotics, photography, paleontology, body movement, music, welding, clay throwing and even drilling for oil.

From a student perspective, the impact of these intentional, well-designed learning spaces at the University of North Dakota is both immediate and meaningful. Spaces such as Merrifield Hall — with its updated classrooms, collaborative study areas and the Cafe for Active Language Learning  or CALL — have transformed the way students engage with both course content and each other.
