Construction in Agricultural Sciences 214 has started! The fixed furniture has been removed as well as the technology and lectern. Next will be to remove the carpet and start building out the ADA seating tiers. Stay tuned for weekly updates!
The Big Picture
During the month of April, GPC staff delivered presentations to Provost Council and Academic Council. The presentation included information about where the project has been, where we are currently, and how we plan to expand in the future. Attendees were given a glance into how we select rooms and resources available to instructors and groups that utilize GPCs. In addition, they were provided with an overview of the Instructional Facilities Advisory Committee, which is still in development. We were thrilled for the opportunity to provide more insight into this project. If your department would like information about GPCs, please check out our website at www.depts.ttu.edu/asfr/gpc or contact us at asfr.facilities@ttu.edu.
What to expect when you’re expecting…
…renovations, that is! The end of the semester is quickly approaching, which means we are that much closer to renovation time! Here is a glimpse at the color scheme and finishes selected for the furniture, walls and floor of the room. This classic look will ensure the room stays in-style for years to come!
Show Your Support
We are currently working on a long-term plan for the GPC project and asking for your support. How can you help, you ask? Write a letter or short email about how GPCs have impacted you as an instructor, scheduler, event organizer, department, etc. Then mail, email, or send by carrier pigeon to Kristina Lusk, kristina.lusk@ttu.edu, MS2020. All correspondence should be received in our office no later than Friday, March 8th @ 5:00 pm.
Another way you can show support as an instructor or student is to complete the surveys distributed throughout each term. These short surveys ask for your opinion on the classrooms and how they impact teaching and learning. This information is then compiled into annual reports and posted on our website. Previous reports can be found at http://www.depts.ttu.edu/asfr/gpc/AssessmentBook.pdf and http://www.depts.ttu.edu/asfr/gpc/Assessment%20Book%202011.pdf.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to hearing from you!
What’s next?
Glad you asked! We are working on final preparations for renovations to take place this summer in Ag Sciences room 214! This room is getting a make-over with new carpet, paint, furniture and ADA accessibility. This facelift is sure to impact a large number of students on campus through classes, evening exams, and student organization meetings. Below is a glimpse at the room in its current state. Once construction begins May 15th, we will be providing weekly updates and pictures on the progress so you can see the transformation!
Spring is here!
We hope you all had a great holiday break. The Spring term is just around the corner and we are preparing the GPCs for the first day of classes. Instructors should be on the lookout for important emails from ASFR Facilities regarding GPC access, technology trainings and more! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 834-5271. Have a great week!
Satisfaction Surveys
This semester sure has flown! We are half way through final exams and only have two more days until the end of the Fall semester!
As a reminder, the end of term surveys were distributed to everyone who has class in one of the GPCs. If you have not done so already, please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your opinion is valuable to us! The surveys will close at 11:59 p.m. on December 12th. If you cannot find the link to the surveys, please send an email to kristina.lusk@ttu.edu and we will be happy to resend it.
We hope everyone has had a successful semester and wish all students the best of luck on exams!
