Looking for a way out of the basement of Hutchison? If computer labs are drawing you down there, things are looking up - or , let's say, across campus. On Friday, June 14, the computer labs in rooms 8, 14 and 86 Hutchison Hall will close, and new computer classrooms will open in Olson Hall in rooms 21 and 27. The new labs in Olson Hall are scheduled to open June 17, the Monday after the Hutchison labs close.

"The rooms in Olson are specifically designed to be used as teaching labs," says Tim Leamy, a Programmer/Analyst for Information Technology, who is responsible for the computer labs.

The AT&T computer lab in room 233 of the Social Sciences building also will be replaced by a new teaching and research lab that will be managed by Letters and Science.

"We're not losing anything. We'll have roughly the same number of computers," says Leamy. ""And we're hoping to open more rooms in the basement of Olson in the near future," he says.

Remember to begin using the computer labs in Olson Hall starting the first day of summer session.
