The Teacher Education and Technology Center at Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland is a three-story 165,000 square foot facility houses the Seidel School of Education and Professional Studies, the Department of Information and Technology, a new integrated Media Center, and the Teaching and Learning Network. The facility is located on the corner gateway to campus and contains smart classrooms, computer labs, office space conference/meeting rooms, a television production studio, multi-media laboratories, a resource center, and technical (ITS/NTS) support space.
With state-of-the-art technology, the TETC’s distinctive features include a 124-seat mega-computer lab, tiered classrooms with capacities of 60, 80 and 120 seats, a Distance Learning Center, the May Literacy Lab, Adult Education Clinic, Carol and Jim Powers Reading Room as well as a Resource Center and outdoor classrooms.
The Teacher Education and Technology Center is equipped with a new Integrated Media Center (IMC). It will serve both Seidel School and Fulton School of Liberal Arts students. The IMC includes a large television production studio, video demonstration lab, music recording studio, digital integration lab, editing facilities, video and audio production bays, and photography center. A cutting-edge multi-media art exhibition gallery includes plasma screens and its own control room.
Bringing faculty together from across disciplines, the IMC allows students to create in digital film, animation, music composition, Web, DVD, CD, broadcasting, performing and visual arts, and other cross-disciplinary media. The integrated concept may also lead to the development of new majors and additional areas of concentration.
This project achieved LEED Silver Certification, becoming the first LEED Certified project on Salisbury University's campus.
