Cornell students were introduced to button makers, 3-D printers and a virtual reality room at the grand opening of MannUfactory on Thursday afternoon.
Services that previously spanned the university — including the Writing Walk-In Services, the Knight Graduate Writing Service and the English Language Support Office — are now consolidated at the Consultation Area on Mann’s first floor.
“I definitely think everyone in the communications department is going to grow closer and more connected to each other,” said Elizabeth Villedrouin ’19. “The Hub allows us all to relax and chat in our own, collaborative space.”
The City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board discussed the remodeling of Hughes Hall and the revitalization of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Quad on Tuesday. According to University architect Gilbert Delgado, the Hughes Hall project aims to meet the spatial needs of faculty and students and improve exterior aesthetics of Cornell Law School. The renovation will largely focus on a new enclosed loggia connecting Hughes Hall to Myron Taylor Hall and a new staircase of the west side of Hughes Hall. The loggia should provide better access from Hughes Hall to the Berger Atrium and create more open spaces that enhance way-finding through the facility, according to Delgado. He added that, funds permitting, the University plans to repair the dining terrace near the Fork and Gavel Cafe “to have a more spacious and modern eatery and event space.”
The Hughes Hall construction is planned for the summer to not interfere with traffic during the academic year.
