Berkeley to Build New Think Tank
As our campus undergoes its current cosmetic facelift on Sproul, construction continues on other parts of the campus as well. One new addition is a state of the art math think tank. This construction is important because of the prestige it can bring to Berkeley in mathematics. This will be beneficial for attracting top professors in a wide variety of math related fields, as well as boosting our reputation and national ranking. Anything that increases the prestige of a Berkeley diploma is good news in my book. Plus, Berkeley gets to be the site for all sorts of new cutting edge mathematics discoveries. Here are some more details on the project, from this article:

*University mathematicians joined leaders in business, technology and higher education in a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday afternoon for the [9 million dollar] Mathematical Science Research Institute, university officials said.
*The new institute will be a 14,000-square-foot addition to the current facility on the UC Berkeley campus.
*More than 1,700 American and foreign researchers visit the institute every year.
