New Office

I am so excited! We are moving into our new offices this week! I can't wait. We have all been crammed in one small room for the past few months. Although we have all grown closer and learned a lot about each other, it's time to move into our new, functional (although some would disagree), beautiful space.

Our old offices were cramped, dark, and a horrible use of the space. Our new offices have opened up the entire department and given us more visibility. Our old offices really placed us at a disadvantage because of our location and access to the offices. The threatening phone calls we received last year that resulted in police investigation really illustrated how vulnerable we would have been had the threats been carried out.

We're anxious to move into our new labs, too! The space will be wonderful for the students--much less distracting during open labs and testouts. I guess the only downside to this is that they neglected to refurbish our student bathroom. It still has the decor and fixtures that it originally had when it was built in the early 70s (?), including the fawcets that don't stay on when you wash your hands, making it necessary to wash one hand at a time while you hold the water on with the other. :-) Hey! I'm happy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0VSngQCxIU
