TUDesc - the education space and social distancing configuration tool

Join Greg Jeffreys of Visual Displays and Piet van der Zanden of Delft University of Technology (TUDelft) for this joint webinar on Thursday 13th August at 10:30 for an in-depth look at TUDesc - TUDelft Education Space Configurator.


This webinar for Higher Education and Further Education Campus Technology Managers and Strategists, will include a review of the latest AV and pedagogical issues facing HE and FE as we emerge from lockdown into a socially-distanced world.  

You will see a demonstration of TUDesc, the new feature-rich, cloud-based tool, developed for educational establishments to optimise their classroom layouts and implement social distancing, including:

  • Design optimal classroom layouts for maximum seating capacity within social distancing rules - with and without tables.

  • Specify all screens, displays, writing boards to ensure readability and sightlines throughout the entire space.

  • Create and print dimensioned floor plans showing positions for tables, chairs, doors, including pathways with directional arrows.

  • Use the new Traffic function to direct pedestrian flow and to label the doors.

  • Study and plan education space design before construction. Prevent errors and problems before they occur by visualizing readability and sightlines.

  • Instantly try out and view changes to room layout during new-build projects and in response to new social distancing guidelines.

  • Use TUDesc to verify your specifications have been delivered during acceptance and project sign-off.

In addition, hear Piet discuss his research on the science and practice of teaching: pedagogies, AV-IT, ergonomics, technologies and space design and the influential ‘Education Space Cookbook’ which has been used as an ongoing transformational tool on the Delft campuses.
