MBA students at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business<\/strong> can now take advantage of adaptable work spaces that better facilitate collaborative learning in the newly opened Innovation Lab.<\/p>\n

Made possible by a gift from alumnus Michael Gallagher<\/strong>, former Haas Board chairman and retired CEO of Playtex Products, the 2,700-square-foot\u00a0 ILab was designed to provide additional room for more team-based and experiential learning---cornerstones of the Haas School's curriculum.<\/p>\n

Movable tables and chairs, as well as white-board partition walls, enable students in the ILab to break into small groups without disturbing others, which is much more difficult to do in the school's traditional tiered classrooms.<\/p>\n

The primary users of the ILab will be students taking classes in the school\u2019s innovative leader curriculum, who also will be able to study and collaborate in the space on a drop-in basis when classes are not in session, the school explains.<\/p>\n

\"Teaching in the new iLab shows what education can be: active; collaborative; flexible; exciting,\" says Adjunct Professor Nora Silver<\/strong>, director of the school's Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership.<\/p>\n

\"As I taught Social Sector Solutions for Social Enterprises in the iLab last week, I was able to vary working with the whole class, consulting with the five teams working separately, and encouraging teams to move around and learn from one another. It was a wholly satisfying and exciting experience.\"<\/p>\n
