<p>Wow! When you click on the proposed rendering of the “aerial view,” you can see how big this is. </p>
<p>And here I thought Shelby by itself was amazing. </p>
<p>Once the entire complex is finished it will be immense. I can’t remember what I heard, but it was something like…when the complex is complete (all 4 phases) it will be one of the largest science and engineering complexes in the nation. Does anyone remember???</p>
<p>bump… :)</p>
<p>I notice on the campus map that there is a biology building. Will biology courses/labs be incorporated into Shelby, or will they remain in a separate portion of the campus?</p>
<p>DS2 was wondering about what UA is going to do with the old Bio building. He has all of his bio classes in Shelby or the Science and Engineering Complex (which is phase II). </p>
<p>Does anyone know what the plan is for that building?</p>
<p>I’m wondering if it will be a bio building for non-science majors.</p>
<p>I just looked up the Spring schedule for Bio classes and nearly all are in the new Science and Engineering Complex. </p>
<p>There are a few that are in the old Bio building - those are Intro to Bio for Non-Majors and some bio classes with the (W) Writing designation. There are also a few odd classes still there: Algae; Toxicology; Evolution; and Plant Semantics.</p>
<p>Anyone can look up class buildings by logging into MyBama and “look up classes”.<br>
SEC = Science and Engineering Complex</p>
<p>Thanks so much, Mom. So, we can actually look at class schedules and locations and teachers now, even though we aren’t enrolled yet?</p>
<p>Sure…</p>
<p>But, I don’t think they have Fall 10 up yet. </p>
<p>In the meantime, you can look up Spring 10 classes and you can look up Fall 09 classes.</p>
<p>log on to MyBama</p>
<p>Click on …look up classes</p>
<p>select the semester</p>
<p>then you can look up by subject(s) or other criteria. Hold down the “control key” if you want to select multiple subjects. Honors college classes are listed under UHP, IHP, or CBHP</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just to avoid confusion, the SEC (Phase II) only has teaching and research labs and offices. There is no classroom space there for biology. Most of the biology classes will have their lecture and discussion sections in Biology Building or Nott Hall (which, as I learned for the first just this week, has an annex for biological sciences).</p>
<p>Also, the parking lot between East Engineering Building and Rogers Library has been closed and fences posts were being put in today. It looks like preparations are quickly underway for SEC Phase III. East Engineering Building and Houser Hall Annex will be torn down to make way for the the new construction.</p>
<p>ahhh…I see.</p>
<p>Where does Honors General Bio meet if there isn’t a classroom in SEC? It says that it meets in SEC 2436</p>
<p>So, the chem classes are in Shelby and the labs are in SEC?</p>
<p>Freshman chemistry labs (101,102,104,105,107,108,117,118) are in the first floor of SEC. Upper level chem labs are in Shelby Hall.</p>
<p>For SEC rooms (including Shelby Hall rooms now), the first digit indicates the floor, the second digit indicates the section of the complex, and the last two digits indicate room number within the section. Section 4 is the U-shaped part of the SEC, so Room 2436 is a lab in the second floor of the U-shaped part of SEC, along with the other biology teaching labs (but some upper-level biology teaching labs are in Nott Hall). </p>
<p>I think these new labs in SEC are studio labs like you see in high schools (low flat benches with chairs, instead of the old-style labs with standing-height benches with hutches), so if the section is small enough you can have lectures in them.</p>
<p>Thanks…DS2 told me that he has classes in Shelby and then lab classes in SEC.</p>
<p>Do the profs have their private labs in SEC?</p>
<p>I assume you’re taking about faculty research labs. Yes, there are research labs in chemical/biological engineering, biological sciences, and computer sciences in SEC II in addition to chemistry research labs in Shelby (SEC I).</p>
<p>Thanks…</p>
<p>That’s what I meant. :)</p>
<p>More great pics of Shelby Science and Engineering Complex…including a nice aerial shot. </p>
<p>If you look at the aerial shot, Phase III is being built outside of view to the right. The grassy area and sidewalks will extend over to Phase III creating a new Quad. Phase IV will be built next to Phase III. </p>
