A refresh of physics lab rooms was completed just before the start of summer session, thanks to funding from the Office of Undergraduate Education.

UC Davis Design and Construction Management, along with Building Maintenance Services went to work during the break between spring quarter and the first summer session on the Physics 7 discussion and lab classrooms in the Earth and Physical Sciences Building. All five rooms were updated with refinished lab tabletops and repainted walls and enhanced with audio-visual projectors. Flooring was replaced in three rooms, as well.

The rooms serve as lab space for Physics 7, a three-quarter introductory physics course intended for students majoring in the biological sciences.

Physics lecturer Armela Keqi was pleased with the result.

“I am really happy that the discussion and lab rooms are in such better shape now,” she said. “I like the new design, too. I think having a nicer and cleaner environment should make it better for our students and TAs to teach and learn in those rooms.”
