When you visit Wohlers Hall thefirstthing you notice is the formal entranccway that has been created to become the focal point of the building. Much of the work that has been done throughout the building is structural and won't be obvious to the casual observer. But these changes will make the building compatible with growing technology needs for the foreseeable future. Every office and classroom has been rewired to accommodate high speed computing. All eighteen classrooms have been upgraded and thirteen have undergone major renovations. The installation of a new air conditioning system, necessitated in part by changes the university was making to its chiller system, freed up considerable space on the third floor that has been converted intofifteenfaculty offices and a new conference room. On the first floor, a student lounge has been added. Divided into two parts, one section has vending machines and tables and will be used as a place for social interchange. The other part has computer outlets and comfortable chairs, and will provide a place where students can study between classes.
