    Higher ceiling means larger room. Larger room means larger class size. It’s well established that larger class sizes are detrimental to learning.

      Larger halls doesn’t necessarily mean larger class sizes. I believe UniSA uses amalgamated exam halls; they fill the same hall to capacity with whatever classes have an examination requirement.

    I had exams in the building pictured at the top of the article. On one occasion it was 6°C and I struggled to write for the whole exam. That building is fucking freezing and the heaters set up around the outer walls did nothing. After the exam it took me several hours huddled in front of a heater to stop shaking. A nice warm classroom would have helped everyone.
