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 ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs and faculty, both independently and collaboratively, to explore how technology can transform teaching and learning. The lab is designed to help ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs 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 ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs 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 ºÚÁÏÉçÇø 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 ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs, 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 ºÚÁÏÉçÇø is not using the correct treatment. The plan is to videotape these ºÚÁÏÉçÇø-patient sessions so that ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs may review what they might have done differently to gain more positive results. This kind of experimentation is invaluable as ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs prepare for real-world scenarios.
