Please be advised that, due to an HVAC project, a crane will be staged and in operation in the G-Lot from April 16 through 17.
The G-Lot encompasses the front of Commons Dining Hall, the softball field area, the side of the Mueller Center, and the Department of Public Safety area.
The affected parking areas will be closed and barricaded beginning the evening of April 15 and will remain unavailable for approximately 48 hours.
Pedestrians are advised to use caution when traveling in the area due to construction activity and equipment.

Come by at 11:30am in Sage 5711 for a talk with Raquel Velho. The talk draws from Velho's new project on the social and political history of the Arecibo Observatory (AO). It aims to briefly share the scholarship from the history and sociology of science that is influencing Velho's thinking about the project — namely, how infrastructure studies and Latin American STS can expand Big Science histories to account for the contextually embedded and geopolitical dimensions of large research facilities.
