DSI Opens New Learning & Study Space at the Barus Building

This fall, the Data Science Institute is excited to announce the opening of a new, shared space for our students and faculty on the first floor of the Barus Building at 21 Manning St!

First TA Office Hours Session in the Barus Building.

This space is designed to foster collaboration and provide a dedicated area for both study and research. The Barus Building will be available for use by DSI master's students as a study space and will also be the new home for the AI Research Institute on Interaction for AI Assistants (ARIA). Located conveniently near the SciLi, this new area offers a great environment for focused work, interaction and occasional DSI events.

Last week, we had our first TA Office Hours session in our new space!

This week, we're excited to welcome our community to DSI's fall semester kick-off Ice Cream Social, today at 4pm (Tuesday, September 9) at the Barus Building so everyone can check out the new space!
