Created from what used to be a large storage space, Miami Dade College’s AI Center is a technology-enabled active learning setting. The space was designed to act as a stimulant for experimental study and collaboration across industries, disciplines and academia. Guests will be greeted by a highly intelligent hologram that initiates the educational experience by informing users of the center. The new space will include:

• Hi-Tech computer room – fixed-seating class with multiple hanging displays

• Quantum computer room – provides connection to an IBM quantum computer

• Robotics lab – equipped to develop mechanics and robotics

• Maker space – outfitted with 3D-printers and manufacturing equipment

• Design/thinking room – collaborative seating and access to technology

• AI instructional rooms – large instructional space with folding dry-erase partition

• A vertical lift – facilitates communication between multiple floors

The college’s vision is to encourage creative thinking through large, collaborative spaces with reconfigurable furniture, smart boards, and automated projectors and screens. The center will promote intellectual interaction among students, professors, departments and disciplines by creating a seamless net of information access and sharing.
