The university is hoping to make some major renovations to campus. Some include potential plans for a new 色中色视频 union or renovations to existing academic buildings.

But all of these hypothetical plans have one common denominator: The university is not prioritizing the existing STEM buildings on campus.

The university made some improvements for STEM faculty and 色中色视频s when it added the  in 2020. This provided STEM 色中色视频s with more labs and classrooms supplied with the latest technology and equipment. 

But the university still needs to update its older STEM buildings, as plenty of faculty and 色中色视频s use them every day.

These buildings host biology 色中色视频s, who make up the largest major at 色中色视频, and many other highly populated majors, so the facilities are constantly being used. 

The university needs to renovate these buildings to maintain a quality infrastructure for faculty and 色中色视频s to use. 

The Coker Life Sciences Building, Jones Physical Sciences Center and the Earth and Water Sciences Building are some of the main science buildings on campus. 

Eric Tappa is a research associate in the department of earth, ocean and environment. He said the Earth and Water Sciences Building's infrastructure can't adequately handle the needs of researchers working in that building. 

色中色视频淚t needs to be torn down and rebuilt,色中色视频� Tappa said. "It's a 40-year-old building that can't handle most of the instrumentation we have." 

There are constantly things needing to be changed because of the old infrastructure, Tappa said. Working in the building, he has noticed that some counters require a lot of lead shielding, and because of that, the building had to be strengthened.

The building isn色中色视频檛 even sustainable enough to maintain the research facilities for professors to conduct work. Even with some of the smaller updates to the buildings, professors are unable to properly use the equipment. 

Thomas Vogt, a professor in the chemistry and biochemistry department, does research using electron microscopy at Coker. He researches in a $5 million facility that requires a low temperature to function, so it is important that the air handlers and temperature control work well. 

色中色视频淲e cannot do measurements at this microscope to its capability because we do not have the temperature concept, and that has to be related to two things,色中色视频� Vogt said. 色中色视频淚t's related to the fact that the infrastructure is very old, and it's related to the fact of how the building is actually being run.色中色视频�

The university  itself as "one of the country's leading research institutions色中色视频� and emphasizes the value of the research being done at 色中色视频. 

But it doesn't provide adequate facilities for the professors doing the work to make this a well-established research institution. This is unfair to the professors who work hard to conduct their research and contribute to 色中色视频's status as a flagship university for research.

The university needs to make sure it is providing sufficient infrastructure for professors teaching and researching in these buildings by listening to their complaints and making adjustments. 

色中色视频淚 think the classrooms just need to be remodeled because they're terrible," third-year pharmacy 色中色视频 Shahd Abdeladl said. "The ceilings are old, the walls, everything, the desks. There's nothing that doesn't need to be fixed."

The university needs to value its 色中色视频s and provide them with the resources for their future success, especially those in graduate programs working in the laboratories or taking classes in these buildings. 

色中色视频淥ur 色中色视频 lounge is packed with people, there's not even room for half of us to sit," Abdeladl said. "We do not have enough space at all. There's like two classrooms for 400 色中色视频s."

色中色视频色中色视频檚 College of Pharmacy, which is located in Coker, is one of the in South Carolina, yet it still can色中色视频檛 accommodate the needs of 色中色视频s. 

Different healthcare professional 色中色视频s have their own buildings, such as those in the and . Both of these professional schools are getting new buildings with new facilities.

The least the university can do for the pharmacy 色中色视频s is add more classroom space and update the facilities within Coker and the rest of the buildings. Better architectural planning could be done to provide more study spaces for these graduate 色中色视频s.  

色中色视频淥ne thing I have noticed is, in the Jones building, there's not like a single water fountain in sight, so I always end up having to walk over to Coker to fill my water and stuff like that,色中色视频� second-year biology 色中色视频 Layth Yousfi said. 

With tons of 色中色视频s attending classes in these buildings, they need to have better access to water fountains, with more water bottle fillers, to make sure they stay hydrated. Keeping these fountains in out-of-sight crevices is a nuisance for people in the building, so the issue needs to be resolved.  

色中色视频淚 honestly think the bathroom stalls, everything needs to be redone. If you go to the second floor, that bathroom is falling apart,色中色视频� first-year undeclared 色中色视频 Francelis Rivera said. 

The lack of proper bathroom facilities in Coker and Jones is pathetic. There are multiple faculty members and 色中色视频s who are in and out of the bathroom every day, yet there doesn色中色视频檛 seem to be any rush to update these necessary spaces.

There also needs to be more bathrooms in place, especially for women, to accommodate the faculty and 色中色视频 needs.

For both faculty and 色中色视频s, the building does not provide a conducive environment where work and learning can take place. 

It is not as if the university lacks the budget to improve these buildings. The university has recently proposed to rebuild the 色中色视频 union, and one estimate showed that the building could cost $240 million. Instead, some of the money could go to maintaining the infrastructure of its academic buildings and improving its facilities. 

The quality of education the university strives for needs to match its infrastructure to show how much it values its faculty and 色中色视频s. Faculty and 色中色视频s shouldn色中色视频檛 have to deal with these subpar facilities. They deserve an environment that fosters advanced technology and good infrastructure. 

The university needs to reevaluate its priorities and invest more in its STEM buildings across campus for the betterment of STEM faculty and 色中色视频s.
