Sackler Renovation

Rosie Lau, M'10

The Sackler Renovation Project has reached the final stages of its planning phase, and construction is slated to begin as early as May 2008. The reason for this early start date is the ultimate aim of having the majority of the construction finished before Class of 2012 arrives in late August. One of the key components of the new educational objectives, the establishment of learning communities, will be further realized by the completion of their physical spaces mid-August, specifically on 2nd and 3rd floors. Our beloved 4th floor café and hang out spot will be closed on May 19, 2008, and is scheduled to reopen in Nov 29, 2008 with a brand-new face-lift.

Here is what we think the anatomy lab of the future might contain. You may hum the "2001: A Space Odyssey" music to yourself as you read.
