Building the Future of Education
At Wartburg College, we’re embarking on an ambitious journey to revolutionize our learning spaces. The Classroom Technology Transformation initiative will modernize all 64 campus classrooms, creating dynamic, technology-enabled environments that will better prepare our students for tomorrow’s challenges.
Our current practice of updating classroom technology every 20 years is inadequate to meet modern needs.
A Comprehensive Transformation
- Many classrooms still have outdated cables and connections.
- Aging equipment causes frequent disruptions.
- Inconsistent technology causes confusion across campus.
- Wireless capabilities are severely limited.
We can get so much more learning done during class if we don’t have to stop and fight with technology just to show a piece of media or have a student present.”

Immediate Impact
These upgrades will help prepare students for the digital workplace, enable innovative teaching methods, support hands-on learning experiences, strengthen Wartburg’s position as a leader in education, and create lasting impact for generations of students.
Improvements in Year One
| Classrooms Overhauled | 15 |
| Classes Enhanced | 495 |
| Better Student Experiences | 10,566 |
| Wireless Capabilities | 100% |
With your help and a lead gift of $185,000 from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, Wartburg will transform 15 classrooms in the first year of the initiative. In year two, another 15 classrooms will be upgraded, with the remaining 34 to follow. All new equipment is expected to last for at least 10 years.
