McGuffey 322 is an auditorium, classroom, and multiple group meeting area. It is equipped with an integrated computer and media system but also has microphones, loud speakers, a lighting system and a 50” smart board plasma screen.

McGuffey 224 is a distance learning classroom equipped with distance connection equipment, microphones, speakers and conference camera to enable real-time interaction between participants on and off campus.

The Engaging Technology Lab (ETL) is a state-of-the-art lab used by ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs and faculty, both independently and collaboratively, to explore how technology can transform teaching and learning. The lab is designed to help ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs become technology pioneers in their fields and to learn to make games that can make a difference in someone's life.

Housed in McGuffey Hall, but available to all professors and ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs across campus who can request the room through Student Disability Services, the Inclusive Classroom features automatic push-button doors and a touch teaching station that eliminates a traditional standing podium.

The Department of Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health has several lab spaces to enhance the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ learning experience.

METIman is a patient simulator that can be programmed to display a variety of health conditions ranging from allergic reactions, pneumonia, heart conditions and various symptoms of trauma. Students can monitor Meti-Man’s pulse, heartbeat, respirations, pupil dilation and other physiological factors.

While METIman is a powerful learning tool for athletic training ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs, other majors can also benefit from working with the life-like technology.

One of the unique features of Meti-Man is that the "patient’s" symptoms can accelerate if a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ is not using the correct treatment. The plan is to videotape these ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ-patient sessions so that ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs may review what they might have done differently to gain more positive results. This kind of experimentation is invaluable as ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs prepare for real-world scenarios.
