Renovate former electron microscopy suite for use as a smart laboratory/classroom and additional office space



Initiative TitleRenovate former electron microscopy suite for use as a smart laboratory/classroom and additional office space
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2009-2010, 2010-2011
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleThe Electron Microscopy Suite has been used in the past to teach the Electron Microscopy courses in the Laboratory Technology Department. The Electron Microscope equipment has been disassembled and donated since it was extremely outdated. Part of the space is currently being used to support the Mosquito Surveillance Project for Orange County during the summer months. Another part of the space is being used as office space for three laboratory technology department adjuncts. The area being used for office space requires renovation. The space being used by the Mosquito Surveillance project can be renovated to become a smart classroom lab to be used for MLT courses such as Phlebotomy and Histology. Histology is a specialized area of the clinical laboratory and students who have taken our course in the past have been able to find employment opportunities in this. There is currently a shortage of Histology techs in addition to medical laboratory technicians and technologists. Renovating this space will allow us to continue to teach Histology and to help our community with filling positions in this area. Furthermore, the lab where Histology is currently being taught also is used to teach Microbiology. The number of sections of Microbiology is expected to increase in the future and having Histology in a separate area will allow for more sections to be offered.
