Too bad it’s almost always booked. For the School of Public Health, the University’s decision in December to halt construction indefinitely in Allston left administrators and faculty scrambling to find temporary solutions to relieve the overcrowding of its cramped spaces.
“We’re in a state of overcrowding that’s really not sustainable in the long term,” Frenk says.
Recognizing that a prospective move to Allston was no longer a realistic medium-term solution, School of Public Health officials began efforts this past year to reorganize existing space for maximum use and explore options for leasing additional space in the Longwood Medical Area.
In the fall of 2008, the School of Public Health launched an alternative case-based core curriculum for MPH students based on an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving in public health.
The few rooms that can accommodate the 60 students enrolled in the new curriculum, Kane says, did not offer the semicircular seating unique to Kresge 502 and would have been ineffectual for class discussions.
