Now located on the first floor of the Downtown Center, the center offers students the opportunity to use small and large group study rooms, in addition to a dedicated anatomy and physiology science tutoring room. &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, Florida International Museum and, more recently, the TEC Garage occupied the space. The computer lab was on the second floor, the small learning center was on the third floor and the anatomy and physiology tutoring was in yet another classroom down the hall. Associate Director of Learning Resources Heather Disler wanted to make the out-of-class support learning space more accessible to students and connect all the resources in one location.&nbsp;&nbsp;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur department was spread between six separate locations throughout the Downtown Center building,\u201d Disler said. \u201cThis meant the director had to staff three locations and students had to walk between floors for different out-of-class support services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disler said that with the new space, they can consolidate and keep all the staff together in one place and offer students a one-stop shop for out-of-class support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is so nice now,\u201d she said. \u201cOur anatomy and physiology tutors and students are no longer isolated in a classroom down the hall, and all the science and math tutors are able to talk with one another, collaborate, team teach and tutor students all under one roof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several instructors have brought classes in for tours and study sessions, getting students excited about the new, larger space made just for them. SPC Student Diego Martinez said he likes the new center a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot more room than before, and I use it every day to do my homework and get help when I need it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1274\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/Grand-Opening-Students-Enjoying--1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/Grand-Opening-Students-Enjoying--1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/Grand-Opening-Students-Enjoying--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/Grand-Opening-Students-Enjoying--768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"1273\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/First-Students-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/First-Students-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/First-Students-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"1272\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/AP-Science-room.jpg\" alt=\"learning center\" class=\"wp-image-1272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/AP-Science-room.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/learning-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2019\/09\/AP-Science-room-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPC&#8217;s new Downtown Learning Center offers students study rooms, in addition to a dedicated anatomy and physiology science tutoring room.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":743,"featured_media":1271,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,16,19,18],"tags":[],"coauthors":[27],"class_list":["post-1269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-webapproved","category-learning-resources","category-research","category-tutoring"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
