Posted on Aug. 26: Temporary classroom to open on schedule

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/temp_class_opt.jpg” caption=”Temporary lecture hall”]New students on campus this September will have another classroom to locate on their campus maps, now that the second temporary classroom is nearing completion.

Karen Belaire, vice-president administration, says the temporary building (T-29) will be ready to accommodate this year's influx of students by the first day of classes.

“We've worked very hard to get ready for the double cohort, and adding this temporary classroom space was a big part of that,” says Belaire. “Over the next couple of weeks we'll be adding the finishing touches so that additional classroom space will be ready on day one.”

The new building is similar in appearance to its neighboring temporary classroom, T-28, which was completed last September. Both are located on the tennis courts, facing Mitchell Crescent. The new building contains two 200-seat lecture rooms on either side, and an entrance in the middle. It is expected to be in place as a temporary classroom until the new permanent classroom space becomes available with the opening of the Centre for Learning and Discovery in September 2004.
