MICHAEL FRANKLIN: The new
John Crerar Library building
is at the heart of our efforts
to expand computer and data
science at the
University of Chicago.
Today, computer
science is deeply
interconnected with many
research disciplines.
We're adding faculty and
courses in critical topics
such as data science, artificial
intelligence, human computer
interaction, and security.
Our new modern space
in Crerar reflects
that spirit of collaboration
across boundaries.
We have new areas for
faculty and students
to work together,
experiment with technology,
and connect with the
field's leading experts.
The Media Arts, Data,
and Design Center
provides resources for
game design and research,
digital fabrication, data
visualization, and GIS methods.
The library's renovated
collections and study areas
preserve the building's
original mission.
We're excited for this new
era of computer science
at the University
of Chicago, and we
invite you to come visit us and
our neighbors at the new John
Crerar Library.
