The Chab Weyers Education and Hixson Lied Art Building
The Chab Weyers Education & Hixson Lied Art Building provides offices and classrooms for Doane's nationally recognized education and art programs. The new building is designed to inspire teaching and learning in a collaborative work environment. Color, texture, lighting and acoustics are used to create a comfortable and enriching setting for faculty, students, and staff. The materials used are long-lasting and environmentally friendly. Whenever possible, sustainable materials were used rather than those that unnecessarily deplete natural resources. The interiors are further tailored to each department, but all share a common palette of finishes.
Four customized classrooms on the third level are one of the features of the teacher education portion of the building. These specialized classrooms and adjacent faculty offices are used for elementary education, special education, middle school education and secondary education. Students can simulate practice teaching as they contain many of the resources found in the nation's top school districts. Additionally, material-rich support space is found throughout the education department for education majors to use to prepare their assignments. Student commons and a snack area are just a few of the amenities surrounding the education department, which includes the administrative offices and other settings that range from instruction to casual conversation areas.
Four lecture rooms capable of being combined into one large conference room are available as a campus resource on the second floor of the building. Seating and breakout space can be easily reconfigured for lectures and conferences. This upscale environment provides students and faculty with a venue to plan learning activities that complement classroom instruction.
