ALABS Construction Project
The ALABS project is building new
labs for 8 departments in the former kitchen and
cafeterias on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors of
A building. More than a dozen labs are to be
relocated to improved spaces at the end of summer
2009. This will improve conditions for teaching and
learning in labs where potentially harmful
particulates, vapors or fumes are byproducts. Status
reports and details about the project will be found
here.
