flooded by overflowing sinks in the organic chemistry laboratory above. A locker room in Memorial Gymnasium was converted to house research involving radiation, including Duane Swank’s X-ray crystallography equipment. In 1973 the Commission on Academic Excellence reiterated to President Wiegman the need for a new facility; a building committee arrived at a need for doubling the then-current space to 116,000 square feet. By then three different chemistry B.S. degree tracks were available, one leading

Improvisational relationships — where each relationship participant is equal and unique — are healthy, productive, synergistic relationships. And so, businesses thrive when the minds that make them up are improv

South Sound colleges lead way to green future PLU has teamed up with South Sound colleges and universities to promote sustainability in Pierce County at the first “Tacoma Sustainability Summit: Education and Action.”The University of Washington Tacoma, located at 1900 Commerce Street, will host the…
PLU’s dedication. The Morken Center attained gold-level certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, and the bookstore incorporated similar green building practices. Across campus, the effort continues: residence halls are equipped with low-flow toilets; Dining Services is bringing more organic and locally-produced food to campus; and human resources offers a transit pass benefit to encourage commuting by mass transit, carpools or walking.
