Brookings Hall's future neighbor

These artist's renderings show the future building for the Department
of Earth & Planetary Sciences in Arts & Sciences: at top, the exterior
as seen from Hoyt Drive; and above, the interior of the west entrance.
Excavation for the building, just to the northeast of Brookings Hall
and east Crow Hall, has begun. The 150,000-square-foot structure is
expected to be completed in Spring 2004. With four levels, the building
will include research facilities and offices for faculty members,
a large "dry" laboratory and two teaching laboratories. In addition,
the NASA tape archive will be housed in the building, as well as a
computer lab and a library. |
