Math department expands, more changes on horizon
LYNDONVILLE-Vt.--With the addition of a new building on the Lyndon State College campus several of the departments have undergone recent changes. The Mathematics and Computer Science department is no different.
With the Atmospheric science department vacating Vail for the new building the math department has moved their computer lab from the Library and Academic Center to the Vail building. The room is now in Vail 449.
“We think it is fantastic. We are able to serve our students better because were always near by,” said professor Kevin Farrell. All of the math professors are located on the fourth floor of Vail. The change took place over the summer and was in affect for the start of the fall semester.
The department will see more changes soon. The room directly next to the Mac Lab is going to be transformed into a lounge for students. The lounge will be targeted for math students but open to all Lyndon State students.
Farrell is hopeful that the lounge will be ready for business after the upcoming winter break. The lounge will echo the idea of the lounge in the business wing of the new building. It will be a quiet place for students to do some homework or study for an upcoming class, Farrell said.
The room has been painted and plans are for the floor to be stripped and redone over winter break.
IT has said they will be placing two or three computers in the room. “It is going to be a poor man’s version of the business lounge,” said Farrell, “but we are happy with it.”
