The CTN has moved into new space in the just finished E7 building. See the updated location information for a map. This move provides unified space for CTN faculty and students to more closely interact on a day to day basis. The space includes offices, visitor space, collaboration space, meeting space, and research space. If you're wandering by E7, come check us out on the 6th floor.
