Eric Palin Hall: Before and After
A recent return trip to Eric Palin Hall (EPH), home to the Electrical Engineering Department for 36 years, revealed the renovations that the building underwent within a year of the Department moving to the Centre for Computing and Engineering (CCE) in August 2004.
The dimly-lit corridors painted in depressing colours are now bright and welcoming; the locker-bays have been converted to cozy lounges and most all of the undergraduate labs have been converted into classrooms— one lab was converted into an administrative office, another into a research lab and a third into a drafting lab.
The Department still has facilities in EPH, including two research laboratories and telecommunications room that connects the researchers, via a fibre-link, to the network in the CCE.
