MechE Students Enjoy New Lounge Space T
his summer, the Department ofMechanical Engineering renovated its graduate student lounge and added a new lounge for undergraduates—ensuring that all students have
a bright, comfortable place to study or simply relax between their MechE classes.Located on the second floor of Hamerschlag Hall in Room B134, the new undergraduate lounge (pictured top right) has been outfitted with new carpeting, sofas, and tables perfect for reading or studying. The students swipe an ID card to gain entry to the room.
The Department, in collaboration with J.D.Taylor,MEGSOPresident
theMechanical Engineering Graduate Student Organization (MEGSO), also designed renovations for the existing lounge for graduate students, located in the subfloor of Scaife
Hall.Like the undergrad lounge, this space includes new carpeting and furniture—but the partnership withMEGSOtook the transformation a step
further.Grad students can now solve engineering
problems and practice mock quals on a new 100-inch projection screen fed by an HD projector,which is also equipped with PlayStation3 input and surround
sound.They can enjoy cold beverages from a full-size refrigerator or hot beverages from an upscale Keurig machine. According toMEGSOPresident J.D.Taylor, this new lounge
offers important benefits for hard-workingMechE grad students. “The purpose ofMEGSOis to enrich and expand the graduate student experience, and the recent renovation of the graduate lounge is a perfect example of this,” saysTaylor.“MechE grad students are very fortunate to now have one of the nicest settings on campus to meet, relax, and study.We all thank the Department for its extraordinary generosity in making this project possible.”•
