Oakland U improves labs, updates equipment

metromode, 10/1/2009

A number of renovated science labs recently opened their doors at Oakland University.

The Rochester-based school recently finished work on 18 labs and classrooms in Hannah, O'Dowd, and Wilson Hall that are used for studies in chemistry, biology, physics, nursing, art, and physical therapy, along with a computer lab.

The original science-based labs dated back to the 1960s and '70s. The new spaces are both better lit and safer, meeting more modern expectations for education. The improvements include plumbing, electrical, and aesthetic work, along with new floors, ceilings, equipment, and upgraded mechanical systems.
