Students can look forward to more construction on campus this semester.
The computer labs in Alumni and Posvar halls are being renovated and will be closed until October.
Cara Masset, the Director of the University of Pittsburgh’s University News, said that Alumni Hall’s lab will be gutted and updated with a change of walls, ceilings, flooring, lighting and electrical and data lines. The space will also receive a coat of fresh paint and a new set of furniture.
The project budget is $324,000, and the lab will be reopened at the beginning of October.
In Posvar, the computer lab will no longer be a CSSD lab. It will become a calculus lab for the Department of Mathematics in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences.
The department’s current calculus lab will remain open in the Gardner Steel Conference Center until the new one opens in Posvar.
This project requires minimal costs because, though new computers will be installed, the calculus lab was already scheduled for a standard upgrade and the space will be fitted with used furniture.
The new calculus lab will open in October, as well.
Junior math major Ben Clifton said he feels that improvements to the department are a good thing, but that he does not think they will affect attendance to calculus lab sessions.
