Building Use

(Presently)

The use of Norwood Hall hasn't changed much over the years. Most of the space is still used for offices and classrooms, although there has been the addition of laboratory space on the ground floor as well. Obviously users require basic amenities such as bathrooms, water fountains, communication resources such as Ethernet and phone lines, heating and cooling, and safety features. The facility contains these services and also meets criteria determined by the Disabilities Act, containing an elevator, wheel chair accessible restrooms, as well as some power assist doors.


The Ground Floor contains the Cloud and Aerosol Science Laboratory, which includes offices, a machine shop, Cloud Simulation Lab, Fine Particle Lab, Electronics Lab, and storage space.
The First Floor is made up of offices and a laboratory: Student Affairs, Residential Life and Student Support Programs, which includes Chartwell's Dining Services, Applied Language Institute office, the Cloud Nuclei Laboratory, New Student Programs (Office of Student Affairs), and International and Cultural Affairs.
The Second Floor is home to more classroom and office space: the Student Learning Center, Leadership Programs office, the Testing Center, Applied Language Institute classrooms, and the Counseling Center.
The Third Floor is composed of the office space of the Career Opportunities Center and Cooperative Education.
