What is the Teaching Commons? The Teaching Commons is a collaboration between the Center for Teaching, the Office of Faculty Development, and the UMass Amherst Libraries. It is a space for faculty to collaborate or work individually, equipped with computers and presentation equipment, on site assistance and faculty service referrals, comfortable seating, and a fantastic view.
