Building H

Building H is strategically located across from the Museum of Fine Arts on Huntington Ave. The CCIS space in Building H consists of the first four floors of the main tower together with the adjoining wing. This new building will provide the College with the physical space, facilities and computing infrastructure for the integration and coordination of all aspects of teaching, research and academic administration, including co-op advising. The aggregation of all College functions in a single facility will go a long way towards building an integrated learning community. Particular attention was paid in the design to foster interaction between faculty and students wherever possible. In particular, each floor will have specially designed space, known as an "Urban Window" overlooking Huntington Avenue, which will serve as an attraction point for students and faculty to meet on an informal basis. The facility has been designed to put into practice the belief that learning takes place in many settings; in the classroom, the laboratory, in the faculty offices and perhaps most importantly through impromptu meetings which are facilitated by a well thought out physical design. Wireless networking throughout the CCIS space will further reduce the barriers to informal learning. The facilities in Building H will significantly increase the College's competitive position with regard to recruiting both faculty and students and is a visible sign of the increased stature of the University among competing institutions as well as a strong commitment to our program. More details will appear later. Click on each picture for an enlarged version of the picture and a caption.
