iSchool faculty and staff continue working with the Austin branch of Parsons, an engineering and construction firm, and UT Systems Office of Planning and Construction Services on the renovation of new space for the iSchool at 1616 Guadalupe. The new site for the school will provide 40,000 sf 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.
