Some exciting new spaces for students are expected to be complete in the first few months of this semester. They include the Experiential Learning STEM Studio in Metz Hall, the Graduate Center in the Sueltenfuss Library, and the Teaching and Community Garden at the Commerce Street entrance. Grant funding has made each of the projects possible.
The Experiential Learning STEM Studio will be a state-of-the-art makerspace that will facilitate hands-on, active and collaborative experiential learning activities. The space is being designed to strengthen problem-based learning.
The Graduate Center, located on the main floor of the library, will provide a consolidated space for Graduate Student Services, and new study spaces.
The Teaching and Community Garden is receiving new beds, irrigation, gravel pathways, a fence border and new fruit trees. In addition to using the garden for teaching, the produce will be shared through the Salud Center Food Pantry.
