The Brown and White Vol. 129 No. 3 Friday, September 11, 2015 ‘All the Lehigh News First’ After several years of renova-tion and construction, Williams Hall has been transformed from the once empty building across from Lewis Lab into a global center for the Lehigh commu-nity, complete with offices and departments previously distribut-ed throughout campus. Originally slated to open in spring 2015, weather conditions and prior rushed construction delayed the opening of the build-ing until this fall. The building will officially be dedicated the first weekend in October during the Lehigh@150 weekend, which celebrates the university’s sesquicentennial year. “The renovation allows for this historic building to be integrat-ed with the University Center, Grace Hall and Taylor Gym in a way that will take full advan-tage of the natural campus flow,” Lehigh’s website states. Williams Hall is intended to be a global hub and a student center. The building is also home to offices that have moved from their previous locations across campus, such as Student Affairs, Residence Life, Student Conduct, Academic Support Services and PHOTOS: Lehigh’s annual Sept. 11 memorial will be taking place on the front lawn today as students place 2,977 flags in the grass to mourn the lives lost on this day in 2001. See Page 4 Anna Simoneau/B&W Staff The newly renovated Williams Hall, pictured here Wednesday is a global hub for the Lehigh community. Williams Hall now houses the Global Cafe as well as faculty offices and study areas for students. faculty from various departments. There are also tutoring rooms available. Williams Hall is on its way to becoming an extension of the University Center. As student affairs and admin-istrative offices move from the University Center to Williams Hall, students are encouraged to view Williams as a place focused on student services. The comprehensive renova-tion created a center of support for modern language and litera-ture, religion studies, sociology, anthropology and student affairs staff programs. The main walk-in, which show-cases the Global Commons, is designed to attract large groups of students. Upon first entering the building, there is space for students to study and interact. Global media outlets are featured throughout the five floors to pro-mote the international theme. “Before, the Center for Academic Success was on the fourth floor of the UC,” tutoring coordinator Lauren Phillips said. “I’m hoping since we are a bit more centrally located now, or at least it’s easier to get to now, we’ll see more peo-ple in the walk-in.” The Center for Community Engagement is located in the Lehigh expanded the Center for Innovation in Technology and Learning this summer with the cre-ation of four state-of-the-art class-rooms in an attempt to provide stu-dents and teachers with an environ-ment that will help them learn and grow. The classrooms are designed to help students engage in group discus-sions or utilize technology while they work. These rooms benefit a variety of students, such as Lehigh tech-nology, research and communication writing fellows, who use the space to edit student’s papers and to meet with the students with whom they are working. The fellows specifically use the CITL-TRAC program house, which holds multiple tables and chairs designed to facilitate group commu-nication. The TRAC 100 seminar is held in this room and the walls are covered in whiteboard paint so that the students can express their ideas freely. This room is also used for faculty when they hold luncheons or need additional space when holding con-ferences. TRAC fellows and students alike are also able to use the CITL Commons, which is a more laid back room that has tables that can be used for student study. The room also has an 80-inch lap-top- ready screen, a digital bulletin board and a public printer. Students have access to all of these resources and are able to project their work onto the large screen or use the dig-ital bulletin board to develop their ideas regarding different projects.
