Mary Gates commons
The Commons, above, will be the heart of Mary Gates Hall. Seen here from the second floor, the large open space will be filled with furniture similar to that found in a library - tables and chairs. On one side will be the drop-in computer lab while on the other will be the services that are part of the Gateway Center and the Center for Career Services. Plans have also been finalized to have an espresso cart nearby so that students can satisfy their cravings for caffeine. The Commons also ties together the old and new sections of the building. The wall on the left in the picture is the former exterior wall of the old Physics Building. The auditorium in the photo below is equipped, like all the classrooms in the building, with a console that will allow the use of many technological teaching aids.

Aagaard portrait hung - Chris Braaten and Jerry Fog of the Carpentry Shop check the position of a portrait of George and Lorna Aagaard before hanging it last week. The portrait is now across from the BB elevators on the third floor of the Health Sciences Center. The BB tower, the tallest structure in the complex, was named the Aagaard Tower last year. The late Dr. George Aagaard was the School of Medicine’s second dean; Lorna Aagaard retired last year after a long career as a volunteer at UW Medical Center and the HSC. Photo by Gavin Sisk.
