  Facilities, event management, and outreach coordination at Stanford University's Wallenberg Hall. Wallenberg Hall provides home for Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning (SCIL). SCIL is looking at the effects of technology on the teaching and learning experience, and the benefits of flexible and innovative learning design spaces. As such, Wallenberg Hall has a research floor and a floor of "high performance learning spaces". These are five classrooms, of varying size and capability. They are used mainly as classrooms during the school year, but also for events varying from speakers to conferences to drama performances to dinners and receptions. With the technology we have available in the building we can do almost anything we are asked to! My job is to ensure the building fabric is maintained, and that events are facilitated and managed. I provide tours of the innovative learning spaces and the research floor, and I also do lots of other more routine duties.
