Flexible Spaces Support Collaborative Education and Research
Cornell's Computing and Information Science Department (CIS), based in Gates Hall, lacked space to house its rapidly growing programs. AOS redesigned the long, narrow bar on the first floor of nearby Rhodes Hall, originally a machine shop, into a new undergraduate study center to support CIS students. The satellite study center features a variety of flexible seating arrangements and study settings to accommodate both group and individual study. Several faculty maker-labs and meeting spaces are included in the program. The new spaces feature state-of-the-art technology and provide a conceptual connection to Gates Hall, across Hoy Field from Rhodes Hall.
