  • Moved Memorial Union Computer Room to 102 Wellman. As of November 4th, 2013 IET has relocated the Open Access Computer Room at 177 Memorial Union to 102 Wellman Hall (the first floor lounge).

    This move is to accommodate the upcoming major renovations in Memorial Union.

The computer lab will move back to a new location in the MU after the MU renovations are complete in roughly 2015.
