Scripps Convergence Laboratory

The College of Communication and Information opened its Scripps Convergence Lab—a facility similar to the academic commons facility in the John C. Hodges Library, in January 2010. Funded in part with a $500,000 grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation, the 4,000-foot facility provided gathering space for the college’s students and organizations, as well as rooms for occasional class meetings. The space included two studio areas, a conference room, a focus group room, lounge area, kitchenette, and staff offices for the college’s technology coordinator.
