SIUE is getting closer to completion of the highly anticipated science building renovation. In addition to the two large lecture halls that have been utilized during renovation, additional completed classrooms will be used this semester.

• SL-Science Laboratory Building has been renamed to SE-Science East. In Spring 2018, classes may appear as either SL or SE on students' schedules.
• SLW–Science Lab Building West has been renamed to SW–Science West. In Spring 2018, class locations may appear as either SLW or SW on students' schedules.
• All rooms in SE-Science East have been renumbered as a result of the renovation and shifting of spaces. For example, the large lecture hall that has traditionally been known as SL 1105 will now be labeled SE 1136. The large lecture hall that has been traditionally known as SL 3114 will now be labeled SE 3126.

Thank you for your continued patience as we move toward full use of this newly renovated space.
