    Renovations to the Pro-MS Facilities

    The Geology Department and the College of Arts and Sciences completed the extensive renovations to computer teaching facilities central to the Pro-M.S. program several years ago. Formerly chemistry laboratories, these rooms are now state of the art Windows-based computing facilities running the ArcGIS and ENVI software. The lastest renovations happened during the 2015-2016 academic year with the upgrade of all the computers to Windows 10 machines with wide-screen monitors.
