Mell Classroom Building, About EASL
Opened in 2017, the Mell Classroom Building is Auburn University’s first fully active learning building. The building is designed to foster innovative approaches to teaching and learning and promote student and faculty engagement through adaptive classrooms. Connected to the Ralph Brown Draughon Library, students can seamlessly transition from large classes to small collaboration spaces.
This active approach to learning relies on high levels of student engagement and activity to create a collaborative and active classroom environment between students and instructors. The Mell Classroom Building facilitates student learning through flexible, open, and technology-infused classrooms. All rooms allow for an active and more personal learning experience. Classrooms feature clustered seating, glass boards, and monitors that allow students to connect their mobile devices and use web-based resources throughout the learning process.
