Students returning to campus this fall were greeted by a new building and, for one Tufts residence hall, a keyless entry system. The four-story, as yet un-named psychology building and the introduction of JumboFob to South Hall were the University's latest facilities enhancements.
The University began construction on the 28,000 square foot building last fall and opened its doors to students and faculty in September. Known around campus only as the "psychology building," a generous donor could have it wear his or her name. So far, the development office has not found any such person or persons.
Administrators have not decided when and if the new JumboFob wireless entry system in South Hall, which allows students to enter the building by swiping a small plastic keychain-like device in front of a sensor, will be expanded to other residential buildings. Students, however, have responded to the new system positively.
