This fall construction began on a new laboratory which will serve as the backbone of the new Bioengineering program and will be housed in the Engineering Lab building. This new facility will provide teaching and research space for Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering. Integrated Design Solutions is the architect of record, and Irish Construction is the General Contractor. We are excited to be part of this new program on campus and we expect the new lab space to be operational by early 2012.
We recently completed a project in the SLRC Atrium to install a 70" flat screen monitor that has the capability to display a direct image feed from the telescope located in the SLRC Observatory. In addition to bringing the wonders of outer space right into the atrium, the monitor can also be used to broadcast presentations or information on current events within the department of Natural Sciences.
A campus committee has been formed to study potential benefits of a campus wide single stream recycling program. Resource Recycling Systems was contracted to research effective scenarios for a comprehensive recycling program and they responded with a recommendation for a single-stream recycling program.To begin, a pilot program in the University Center to test the system and make adjustments as necessary. Initial estimates indicate a two year return on this investment.Recycling programs are only as effective as the people who use them. Are you interested in being a sustainability steward and helping to educate our campus community?
Facilities Planning has been instrumental in a multi-phased plan to upgrade the multi-media capabilities withing CASL. Working closely with CASL tech in the summer of 2011, we designed upgrades to 19 classrooms within the CASL and SSB buildings. The changes allowed for more faculty-friendly experiences at the front of the classroom, upgraded projectors, controls and speakers, and enhanced the ability to remotely monitor the projectors to track usage, lamp life and security. We are now working on another project to add multi-media to 9 classrooms that do not currently have projectors. We are pleased to be a part of bringing technology to the classroom!
