Deepening Our Support for STEM Faculty and Students

The Poorvu Center now has a location inside Kline Tower!

Poorvu North is a new flexible hub over two floors that features open spaces, adaptable classrooms, and meeting rooms that are designed to help us better support our students and faculty in STEM fields and the neigboring Professional Schools. These spaces serve the perfect backdrop for workshops, classes, tutoring sessions, and innovative, collaborative events.  

The concourse level features 12 flexible rooms that can be used for classes and meetings AND 3,200 square feet of touchdown space for collaborative work. 

We also have an additional 600 feet of collaborative work space on the first floor of Kline Tower, immediately outside the popular Steep Cafe and new state-of-art classroom known as KT 101.
