Silsby Hall construction nears end
By Joshua Stern | September 29, 2000If beauty is truly internal, then Silsby is looking better than it has in years. Students arrived on campus this fall to find many social science departments in the new and improved, yet not entirely completed, Silsby Hall. The departments of government, anthropology, education, economics, sociology and African and African-American studies are now utilizing new classroom and office space within Silsby. Social Science Computing will also move to Silsby upon completion of the building's basement. According to Associate Dean of the Faculty for Social Sciences David Blanchflower, the finishing date is set for no later than October 1. Perhaps most visible, Silsby Hall now contains "smart classrooms," a type of classroom design that incorporates multi-media technology. Advantages aside, the Silsby project has not been entirely problem-free.
