After more than a year of construction, Mitchell Hall will be back in service for the Spring 2010 semester. We appreciate your patience as we have made many needed improvements to the facility.
Given the tight construction schedule for this project, you will notice that work by various contractors will continue for approximately a month into the start of the Spring Semester - including installation of final chalkboards and audio visual components in a few of the classrooms. However, temporary resources are being deployed and this should not be of major inconvenience to any of you. If you experience problems, please immediately contact Jep Choate (jepchoate@unm.edu) in the Office of the Registrar for assistance.
While the exterior of the building was left much the same, the interior of Mitchell Hall has been redesigned and refinished to provide a streamlined, more efficient and attractive teaching and learning environment. The following enhancements have been made to the classrooms:
Improved day-lighting and overall energy efficiency
New furniture for students and instructors
Enhanced teacher stations and podiums
New chalk and white boards
Wireless internet, ceiling mounted digital projectors and screens
A separate computer classroom equipped with 26 workstations
Overall building improvements include:
A new deli, with indoor and patio seating
Upgraded restrooms
A re-located MTS (Media Technology Services) satellite for classroom support located across from the Deli
A walk-up computer counter
Small informal seating areas located throughout the building
We welcome your feedback on this important project and hope that you will keep in touch as you teach in this new facility. In the coming months, we will be conducting user surveys as part of our post-occupancy review. We hope that you will take the time to tell us what we have done right or the things we could do better in the future.
