Because all of the courses I teach involve team-based project work, it can be frustrating to have a classroom designed in the old lecture style, with arcs of fixed chairs and tables. Students have to contort themselves to work in teams. Increasingly, universities and colleges have begun to design classrooms with movable tables and chairs. This enables students to regroup in their teams quickly - and comfortably.
I am very happy that the classroom in the University at Buffalo School of Management Jacobs Building, where I currently teach the capstone Fundamentals of Strategic Management course, has chair-desk combos that can be rolled into team configurations quickly. The only challenge we will face is that the room is full, so students will need to sit in groups at the start of class, or shift to new desks when the team project work begins.
