Newstead building?

Sometimes there's such a squeeze on lecture room availability that they just have to go where there's one free. In my first couple of years I had some Engineering lectures in the Quinn building, Maths lectures in Newman, and Computer-related lectures in Health Sciences. There are also a lot of undergraduate Civil & Structural Engineering lectures in Newstead too - it's not a "postgraduate" building by any means.
Death has this much to be said for it:

You sure it's not in the NewMAN building?
Having Cog-Sci in a post grad engineering building wouldn't be overwhelmingly sensical tbh.
3 years ago I had a history of Dublin module that had lectures one day in Newstead and the other day downstairs in the Eng building. We were a little out of place amongst all the heavy machinery and lads with hard hats walking around the place

I'm in Newstead for both lecs at 10am. Think there's another offering at 11 or something along those lines...? Lucky me don't have to remember two different locations... Have enough of that already!;)
I agree with the bigger science modules, though two weeks into the year Th. F could have happily taken attendence for most of them... :P Would have saved me the walk

I just have to remember the one! B004 CS building >_>
One's at 11, one's at 12, simple!
It's nice to get out of the hub occasionally? ThL despite being nicer is only rivaled by ThA in science, the rest are just horrible!0 -

Ah but Th.A is posh! They have cushions
Not in there at all this semester... *sigh...
It is nice to get out of the hub every now and then, just not when I have to run from arts to Conway for a lab :eek:0 -

I haven't been in ThA since Orientation. My timetable suggests that I have a module there this coming semester, so at least that's nice!0 -

I'm streamed for pharmacology so I thought I lived in F last semester. I was wrong, having seen this semester's time table I can say I was only renting a room last semester!
Double lects are the worst. Come out of them with a pain in your back and an even bigger pain in your... Well you get the idea!:rolleyes:0 -

I'll be in Quinn for the first time this semester as well! The lecture theatres look so unusual in there, but good as they seem to be smaller - more like a classroom than a large lecture theatre (unless I was actually looking at classrooms). I smiled at the "Dunnes Stores Lecture Theatre" :P 0 -
Ive had a few lectures in Science and in Arts and it makes me so thankful for Quinn haha.
For those who haven't been in, all our chairs are like this baby
/smugness
@ Timbuk2 the building is mostly classrooms but there are 3 lecture halls. 1 of which is 2 classrooms that they just knocked down the middle wall. Most of our classes are in the small classrooms though.0 -
Unfair! Med have them in all their classrooms too. For medical scientists we seem to spend very little time in their comfortable classrooms!
Don't know what we scientists ever did to anyone... When you look around the campus we've obviously done something wrong though! 0 -

Wouldn't you be in the Health Sciences building? The first time I walked through that, in from the UCD Bowl side of the building, I thought I was walking into some posh hotel :O
And the library :eek:0 -

That's where my Algorithmic Problem Solving Tutorial was - the most comfortable chairs in the world. And you could lean back as far as you liked, and lock the chairs in the position with the perfect slant. 0 -

I know a girl working in timetabling/room allocation, believe me it is a very difficult job fitting everything in! Think about the logistical nightmare of organizing everything (including the nightmare of dealing with lecturers etc).0 -
I'm sorely tempted to not go to the lectures in Newstead and head to the ones in CSI instead seeing as I have nothing that hour anyway. Extra hour of sleep and less effort sounds good to me. ^_^
And agreed about the Active Learning Lab having the best chairs on campus. But I think they're just there to lure first year CS students into a false sense of security before they're hit with second year.

Newstead- Newman (Possible in ten minutes???) - Hub- hub- Conway for three straight hours if that makes you feel any better?

newstead to newman is a comfortable 15min walk.
If you want to arrive sweating for your lecture you can do it in 10 min0 -
