(302-304 to be split with

Remove benches, replace by tables with
integrated computers, preserving some
mobility. Add blackboard as necessary.
Build cabinets to store teaching and
experiments props. Computer console and
projector.
302-304: Set up stats consulting space, as
well as prep room
Stats Conference/consulting On the window side of the room. MTH/stats
room (with access to PHY)
would be OK if access were through 301
Bio/math program
The purpose of this space would be to
allow students – with priority to those
involved in the bio-math program - to
conduct ongoing research during the
semester – e.g. a 24 h long numerical
experiment on a computer, and some light
bio data collecting.
352: Remove lab equipment. Equip with
computer tables, 1 small lab bench, a
smart board.
351: could be made smaller, and could
house the program coordinator.
Math Activities area
(Replaces Math studio) Math/art research
and teaching place.
Space needs to be cleared as shown on
Wilson’s plan, and we request that it be
extended by moving "TEL/DATA" and
"ELECT" and the toilets
Prep
(On the corridor side of the present
space.) This will be the prep area for the
introductory physics labs. It will need
shelving all around to maximize storage
and a reasonably large space to assemble
demo carts. It would be helpful to have a
small separated room in the back for the
laboratory supervisor to sit and for
electronic equipment that needs extra
security. This separate room would ideally
have a ¾ high wall so that natural light
could reach the rest of the space.

Teaching lab:

Fall: Ecology/Genetics/110
Spring: Microbial diversity
Renovation requirements
This room would be used for a combined
lab/lecture for first semester introductory
physics (115/117). Lab tables would need
to be removed and movable tables put in.
The room would need to be wired for
power and Ethernet all around with
computer stations around the walls. An
open area in the middle would be
important for demos.
A double door from the prep area into this
room would be useful for moving large
demo/lab equipment.
This room would serve the same purpose
as 305 and should be configured in the
same way. The smaller rooms currently in
this space would need to be removed.
Ideally a set of double doors would
connect the two lab spaces.
This space would be used for additional
physics lab and demo storage. It would
probably be most useful if consolidated
into one large room but it could still be
used in its current configuration.
Aim here is to create community spaces
with computers, a large center table and
white boards. To be used for lab group
meetings, genetics study groups and other
informal learning activities. Might be best
achieved as a single or divided room.
This space is adequate and requires no
renovation for now. Instead, it makes most
sense to renovate this down the road for
Tilley’s replacement.
This lab should accommodate 18-20
students (currently 16). This can be done by
reducing numbers of sinks and replacing
benches with standing height throughout.

Renovation requirements
Cold room should be kept, storage space
adequate
These small rooms need to be converted
into a functional research space with
appropriate storage
Needs standing benches with shelves above,
minus 1 hood, adequate storage spaces on
walls, cold room to be discussed.
Minimal renovation required
These rooms need to be converted into a
functional research space with appropriate
storage. Loud air-handling and extra hoods
to be removed
This lab should accommodate 20 students.
This can be done by reducing numbers of
hoods and replacing benches with standing
height throughout (though with space for
seats below).
Maximize desks and add white board.

We will look to architects for advice as to
how to distribute these functions across
these two spaces. Our understanding is that
air handling in 342 has some issues…
Ultimately, the pond-side rooms from 310-328 need to be upgraded to long
standing benches to accommodate our teaching and research needs. Research
spaces should have shelving installed above benches. Also, the number of hoods
needs to be reduced to one per room and the loud air-handling system removed.
We recognize that all of this may not occur in the short term and we have prioritized
rooms to some extent above.
