Abstract:
After a half century of use by the Brown University Psychology Department, the Walter S. Hunter Laboratory of Psychology has been scheduled for renovation for another use, and a new building for the department is on the drawing board. Hunter Lab was specifically designed to house an experimental psychology department. Here we comment on the changes and adaptations necessary over the years as teaching and laboratory technology changed and as the department and the university grew larger, and we suggest considerations to others who are planning new or renovated buildings with similar purposes.
