...same time, faculty members in the sciences were raising objections to the very idea of an Undergraduate Science Center. The educational gains to be gotten--reserving an area especially adapted for undergraduates, where they would have lab space free of intervening researchers--seemed to some to be outweighed by the educational costs. If a center was given to undergraduates, there would be no learning from nearby graduate students or sharing in the process of original research. Professors would only be there on a visiting basis, going in and out for lectures and a few scattered office hours per week...
...building is composed of four basic sections. The largest section, which runs parallel to the north wall of the Yard, is the laboratory wing forming the back of the building. The lab wing contains four levels of usable lab space topped by two levels of machinery for ventilation and exhaust of chemical furnes...
Running perpendicular to the lab wing is the office wing, which looks like an immense stairway. The top step--the one where the office wing meets the lab wing--is nine stories high. The bottom step, closest to the Yard, is only two stories high...
Looking for alternatives. Chemist Philip C. Symons, director of the Udylite Co.'s energy development lab, turned to a combination of inexpensive and readily available substances: zinc and chlorine. Other experimenters-notably General Motors' Allison Division -have also built batteries using chlorine and are confident that such batteries, when refined, will have an energy density high enough to make them practical for powering electric automobiles. But chlorine has two serious drawbacks. It is a poisonous gas that could endanger the occupants of a car if it seeped into the passenger compartment and under ordinary conditions it occupies...
...indoor fun there are two television rooms, a cinema and even a discotheque. Next year the hotel will have a skating rink, a golf course and a small zoo. Knowing that all play and no work makes Jacques un enfant terrible, Fischler also included a library, a photo lab and four crafts workshops in his blueprints. At an additional cost the hotel also provides lessons in four languages and other tutoring...
