The Collaborative Learning Center brings together innovation and technology in a collaboration-focused learning hub
Imagine a customized academic experience that brings your future into focus by learning in a cutting-edge facility that prioritizes collaboration, innovation, and transformation of the whole person—mind, body, and soul. This is what it means to learn in Asbury University’s new Walt and Rowena Shaw Collaborative Learning Center.
The $25 million, 59,000-square-foot Shaw CLC brings together future entrepreneurs and scientists, health-care professionals and marketing experts to learn from, and with, each other. The Shaw CLC houses Asbury’s Dayton School of Business, Shaw School of Sciences, SEARCH at Asbury, a 400-seat auditorium, breakout rooms for hosting conferences, common areas and sales training rooms.
“Asbury is educating students in a dynamic season of change, and this has implications for our educational facilities,” said Asbury University President Kevin Brown. “The Collaborative Learning Center is an innovative, 21st century educational space that will facilitate hands-on learning, skill-building, and critical thinking so our students can be agents of change in tomorrow’s global marketplace.”
The fully funded new space provided by the Shaw CLC allows for rigorous academic scholarship that will touch nearly all university departments, and also allows a space to discuss relevant issues at the core of students’ Christian faith.
The Shaw CLC Dedication was held on June 24, 2022.
