New Student Lounge Unveiled

Kitchenette and Lounge Area

Yesterday, the Master of Professional Science Program (MPS) unveiled the new student lounge. Located on the first floor of the Science Library and Administration Building (SLAB), the lounge will provide an additional space for students to gather. The brand new hangout is complete with a couch, TV, lockers and kitchenette.

Study Area

“It filled a really big need for the program,” says MPS Director Dr. Jill Richardson. “Students can use it for study groups in between classes to write papers and work on assignments.”

MPS Visiting Assistant Professor and Broad Key Research Station Manager, Dr. Evan D’Alessandro added, “It’s a win-win for everybody. The students have a quiet place to relax and focus on their school work, with a central location to classrooms and access to their professors.”

Storage Lockers

In addition to the MPS lounge, Facilities Director Ray Alfonso and his team have been hard at work renovating classrooms around campus. The first classroom completed was SLAB 114. Traditional desks have been removed in favor of movable tables with electric outlets for computers. New white boards were hung and a TV screen is now being used to display presentations.
