The spaces

Two adjacent rooms, one academic purpose

Kanani Conference Room 1 and Kanani Conference Room 2 were created as matching small-group seminar rooms in the John B. Macdonald Building.

The original UBC feature emphasized concentration, case discussion and large shared displays. Current capacity, room numbers, equipment and access should be confirmed with the Faculty.

Why the rooms mattered

A place to concentrate together

The historical value of the rooms is tied to their use, not simply their names. They answered a need for focused discussion close to the Faculty’s learning environment.
