Q. What year was this photo taken?
Facilities identified as being inadequate.
Blueprints were drawn for building remodel (1992)
Room 2124 and adjacent prep. room were
remodeled following an electrical fire.

Classroom Scheduling
• Building 2100 was originally designed to have eight
laboratory classrooms. It currently has six functional laboratory
classrooms.
• Spring Semester 2013 the laboratory classrooms were
scheduled for an average of 29.1 hours/week.
• Spring Semester 2008, prior to class cuts, the laboratory classrooms were scheduled an average of 38.7 hours/week.
Rooms 2110 and 2124 were each scheduled for 57.2 hours/week
• Due to high occupation of rooms, we are not able to offer classes
at times when they do not conflict with the other classes students
require.
Number of hours each laboratory room was scheduled per week (Spring 2008 & Spring 2013)
