There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Georgia Tech Research InstituteConstruction is underway at the Technology Square Research Building to create new facilities for the Digital Media program and the James and Mary Wesley Center for New Media Education and Research.
While similar in size to the current facilities in the Skiles Classroom Building, the new space is being designed to better meet the needs of the programs. The TSRB facilities will provide centralized workspace, modernized equipment capabilities, and puts faculty and students in close proximity to colleagues in the Graphics, Visualization & Usability Center (GVU).
The hub of the new facility will be the southeast corner of TSRB's third floor. That space is being reconfigured to accommodate offices, six labs, and student work spaces. An additional area on the first floor will provide a common area, conference setting, and a gaming lab.
Plans call for the move to TSRB in mid to late July. The ground level space in Skiles Classroom Building vacated by the programs will be reconfigured to house the College of Sciences School of Mathematics.
