Instructional Technology Plans Summer Upgrades
Instructional Technology installed four new electronic classrooms and upgraded eight others this past summer. The newly configured rooms include a touch panel control system, digital document camera, DVD player, VCR, and PC or Macintosh computer. The projects increased the number of classrooms with IT’s standard configuration to 35. Work on the classrooms was aided by the recent addition of E. J. Hudock to the IT staff. As facilities coordinator, his primary responsibility is to help support classroom technology. The newest version of Blackboard instructional software also was installed in the summer.

Open House Introduces Cutting-Edge Environmental Engineering Labs
Lafayette held an open house to showcase its new and renovated environmental engineering research laboratories, as well as the innovative student research conducted in them, in March at Acopian Engineering Center.

Williams Visual Arts Building Receives Only Silver Medal in State
The Williams Visual Arts Building has been recognized for excellence in design quality with the Silver Medal from the Pennsylvania chapter of The American Institute of Architects, the highest award given by the organization. The Visual Arts Building was chosen from a pool of applications by 100 practicing architects in Pennsylvania, who submitted buildings from around the country. No more than one silver medal is awarded annually, although in many years, such as in 2001, no facilities are deemed deserving of the honor, according to Caroline E. Boyce, executive director of AIA Pennsylvania.
