Construction Projects @ Brown

<p>I’ve heard a good deal about the various projects currently underway (or soon to be, anyway) at Brown, such as the fitness center and the renovation of the campus center, but I haven’t been able to find any type of list or schedule of current projects. I’m mostly just curious when things are happening…does anyone know?</p>

<p>Most of the major construction is set to be complete in 2009/2010.</p>

<p>This includes the Nelson Fitness Center, the Walk, the Creative Arts Building, the Renovation of J. Walter Wilson and Faunce, as well as the Mind Brain Science Building.</p>

<p>All of those things are pretty well underway (at least funding wise) except the Mind Brain Science building.</p>

<p>Search the Brown Daily Herald – I think it just did an article listing many of the projects.</p>

<p>Hmm…i guess i didn’t scour the Brown website as thoroughly as I thought.</p>

<p>Athletic and visual arts facilities are pretty important to me, so this is definitely good news. Now I need to get in.</p>

<p>Jay – what’s gonna be in the creative arts building?</p>

<p>And how can I get a pottery studio in there?</p>

<p>Honestly I wish I knew, the only answers I’ve gotten are, “You know, studio space, and stuff” type of responses.</p>

<p>I think they want more music and dance rehearsal studios and more art studio space as well as gallery space.</p>

<p>From the website:
“This new facility will feature a recital hall, recording studio, multi-media lab and studios. All space within the building will be assigned for multi-disciplinary work.”</p>

<p>wow, now that they’re building a new cog science building I HAVE to get in!</p>

<p>(although it won’t be finished for a while)</p>

<p>yeah i read that. art studio space – what exactly does that mean? i mean sounds like they might enjoy the idea of a pottery studio space? or photography? or wood shop? or all of it aka craft center?</p>
