Outside spots downtown to pick up free Wi-Fi

By Youngrae Kim Free Wi-Fi has been available as a test project since May on Broadway and Ninth Street, and around Flat Branch Park and Courthouse Plaza. It is being funded by a half-cent sales tax at downtown retail businesses. The network pops up on devices as “District Free Wi-Fi,” and no password is required. The service does have a data cap, which restricts users from uploading or downloading large files, like watching Netflix or playing high-definition videos on YouTube. Here is a list of public benches with full Wi-Fi signal within the area of coverage.

OUR OFFICES are located at 221 S. Eighth St. Columbia, MO 65201 WE ARE OPEN 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Columbia Missourian is published five days a week except for the day after Christmas. MAILING ADDRESS: The Columbia Missourian P.O. Box 917 Columbia, MO 65205 CIRCULATION: 882-5700

The strength of the signal was tested by being able successfully upload a photo to Facebook and check email.

1 Tables and benches located at Flat

Branch Park on Elm Street. It is a park where you can bring pets and use Wi-Fi while avoiding the busy downtown crowd.

An amphitheater stage at the Boone County Courthouse Plaza on Walnut Street offers plenty of open space to sit and access the Internet.

A small resting area with two benches and a tree is located in front of Commerce Bank at Broadway and

Ninth Street.

4 Public benches are located in front

of Tellers at Broadway and Ninth Street. The place showed an especially strong signal because of its proximity to a Wi-Fi transmitter.

Big tables and chairs are provided near businesses on Ninth Street near Elm Street from Ingredient to Chipotle. The tables are big enough to put a laptop and a stack of textbooks.

Public benches can be found in front of Shakespeare’s Pizza at Ninth and Elm streets.

Starting Aug. 1, the hours of operation for FastCAT will change by one hour. It will stop running at 1:30 a.m. Thursday through Saturday rather than its current closing time of 2:30 a.m. This is due to a limited number of users.

On Aug. 17, the modified FastCAT 107 summer schedule that began July 1 will end with the beginning of the regular semester.

By mid-August, Columbia Transit plans to upgrade its current bus tracking system with new GPS technology. Returning students to Columbia will be able to track an estimated time of bus arrival and the current location of any bus on any route, including FastCAT and Tiger Line, with a mobile application on any iPhone or Android-based smartphone.

Construction projects give campus a facelift 4 RESIDENCE HALLS

By Shannon Elliott Summer at MU means a less-populated campus, so it becomes prime time for construction that would otherwise be in the way. You might notice four large construction projects across campus now that you’re back. The total cost for the projects is estimated at $137 million.

n Johnston and Wolpers halls Renovations to Johnston Hall include more common living space and fewer rooms on each floor to lower the ratio of students to baths. The Campus Dining Service restaurant Sabai, located in the bottom of Johnston, will be renovated to allow easier access to the restaurant for students entering from the outside. The project, combined with the Wolpers project, will cost $37.1 million. Johnston will reopen for the fall 2014 semester. Wolpers will undergo similar renovations once fall 2013 comes to a close.

1 MEMORIAL STADIUM n Press box 42,000 square feet of space will be renovated in the west side of the stadium. A portion of the press area will move to the once open air upper deck to a new enclosed, conditioned space. Those vacated press areas will become two new suites that could seat up to 80 spectators. Other spectator areas in the building will receive updated finishes, and an elevator will be added at the southwest corner of the press box near gate five to better handle traffic. The project costs $10.3 million and should be completed in time for football season. n North concourse This project increases space in the north concourse near the rock ‘M’ and improves lighting and infrastructure.

Summer renovation projects at Stephens College to watch for

More online For continued coverage of the latest news out of Stephens College and Columbia College, go to ColumbiaMissourian.com.

By Caitlin Campbell

STEPHENS COLLEGE

Stephens College is in the midst of an aggressive facilities campaign that involves upgrading and modernizing the interiors of some of the campus’ historic buildings. Four facilities underwent extensive renovations this summer.

1. Pillsbury Hall 3. Dudley Hall 2. Hickman Hall 4. Stamper Commons

1 Dudley Hall, on

Broadway near Ripley Street

Five classrooms in Dudley Hall were renovated this summer as part of the “Room to Grow” campaign. Started in 2011, the campaign is dedicated to upgrading and modernizing classroom space. The work will transform the classrooms into modernized learning spaces complete with Smart Board technology and more electric outlets for laptops. The Smart Boards are replacing chalkboards to fit the way students learn today, Stephens College strategist Janese Silvey said. Before the renovations, Dudley

up the older space, Silvey said. The lab space is being upgraded with a new ceiling, flooring, cabinets and countertops, as well as new lighting and audio technology. “These projects essentially bring the interiors of our buildings up to modern standards while preserving the historic integrity of our campus,” wrote Richard Perkins, campus project manager, in a press release.

3 Hickman Hall, on

Broadway between Waugh Street and College Avenue Hall had smaller desks that were just big enough for notepads, Silvey said. New classrooms are getting desks and tables large enough to hold laptops.

Pillsbury Science Center, near College Avenue and Ash Street Crews are also working in Pillsbury Science Center to brighten

A newly renovated dance studio, lounge and warm-up room in Hickman Hall will be a welcome change for the dance program, Silvey said. Renovations, which were prompted by the sale of Hillcrest Hall, include new windows in the eastern facade of the building. Previously housed in the basement of the auditorium, the dance

program will move to the facilities in the third floor of Hickman Hall. Dance students did not have a warm-up room or a lounge when they were housed in the auditorium, Silvey said. The theater department’s costume shop is also being temporarily housed at Hickman Hall. The move should have no effect on the program.

4 Stamper Commons, on Broadway between Willis and College avenues

The fitness center once housed at Hillcrest Hall has been relocated next to the student union. The 21 exercise machines from the center, which include weights, treadmills and stationary bicycles, were relocated to a renovated space at Stamper Commons. Moving the fitness center next to the student union places the equipment in a more convenient location, Silvey said.
