In summer 2007 iSchool faculty and staff began working with UT’s Office of Planning and Construction Services on plans to renovate new space for the iSchool at 1616 Guadalupe. The new site for the school will provide 40,000 square feet of newly renovated space that will more than double space allocated for classrooms, labs, research and student space, as well as faculty and staff offices. In addition to bringing all teaching and lab facilities of the school under one roof, 1616 Guadalupe will provide a much needed student lounge and kitchen as well as research and collaboration space for faculty and doctoral students. The new facility will have six classrooms and four seminar and conference rooms compared to four classrooms and one conference room at the Sanchez Building space. Here are renderings of the 1st floor. We will keep you updated on the progress of the renovation project and our migration to our new home.
