The University Testing Center (UTC) has initiated a series of thoughtful improvements to its Varsity testing lab to enhance functionality and comfort for students and test-takers. The first phase of the project involves a revised seating layout that enables greater capacity and efficiency in the space for paper-based testing.
To ensure a secure testing environment, the lab is continuously monitored by 12 overhead cameras that capture full views of 13 workstations, as well as audio surveillance.
Additionally, the UTC plans to schedule the Varsity lab with new paint and carpeting, and to upgrade the student waiting area with improved furniture and natural greenery to create a more welcoming atmosphere, pending budget approval.
The ongoing improvements reflect UTC’s commitment to providing test takers with a secure, efficient, and comfortable testing experience. These efforts were identified and prioritized based on the UTC’s test-taker and instructor feedback survey results from the previous academic year.
