We made it to our new work home in the ITCA building of UAB today! At first glance of the inside of the building you see lots of wood, concrete, and steel. The exterior of the building has openings to allow natural air to cool to the building and provide natural light. Our office space has 6 desks, we occupy the back four and two other visiting students occupy the other desks.
We learned everyone has lunch together at 1 pm every day. At lunch we met so many new and friendly people. There is a kitchen in the lunchroom so some students were cooking, others warmed up food they brought from home. At 2 pm we had a meeting with our research group up on the top floor where we got updated on all the upcoming events.
At the end of the day we learned we can take the extra produce from the lunchroom if we want some. They had beautiful heads of lettuce and ripe tomatoes. Cannot wait to eat them!
All in all it was a successful first day. We each got a lot of work accomplished and are excited for Day 2!
