- AREC's computer and study space is closed for the Fall semester. Due to safety concerns with COVID-19, unfortunately there is no way for us in the department to maintain user physical distancing and maintain a disinfected open space without faculty/staff being present in the department to monitor the space. We regret this being the current situation, and we hope for this to change in a future semester.
