RENOVATED INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS LAB OPENS IN HUMAN SCIENCES
AUBURN -- An open house and dedication for a renovated studio/laboratory in the interior environments program of Auburn University's School of Human Sciences has been scheduled for Friday, Nov. 3.
The laboratory, located in room 106 Spidle Hall, will be utilized as a hands-on teaching studio and will be dedicated at 3:30 p.m. A reception will follow on the lawn of Spidle Hall.
The laboratory has been a collaborative effort on the part of business, industry and the university to provide more effective learning opportunities and professional preparation for students, says Mary Clem, coordinator of the interior environments program in the School of Human Sciences, who is coordinating the program.
"The interior finishes, materials, equipment and furnishings have been provided by the Interior Environments Advisory Board through contacts with manufacturers and distributors.
"The experiential nature of instruction and learning in this laboratory will enable students to achieve a level of technical knowledge and competence that is essential in the field of interior environments," says Clem.
