Building
Smith’s
Future
Smith School Dean Prabhudev Konana
is reimagining learning spaces for worldclass business teaching and learning.
Technological updates are being
made throughout Van Munching Hall.
New construction is under way that
includes active-learning classrooms with
digital whiteboards, screen sharing and
online platforms. A virtual teaching and
media studio—the 昀椀rst of its kind at the
University of Maryland—has advanced
technologies for video production;
a 昀氀oor-to-ceiling video wall; and screen
sharing, chat and interactive tools to
enable communication and collaboration
between instructors and Smith’s remote
learners around the globe.
The school continues to innovate
and anticipate the future needs of
business professionals.
