Groundbreaking Center

Marcel Just, the D.O. Hebb Professor of Psychology and director of the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging; John Lehoczky, dean of the College of Humanities & Social Sciences (HSS); Michael Tarr, professor and co-director of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition; Tim Keller, scientist; Marlene Behrmann, professor; and Walt Schneider of the University of Pittsburgh, celebrated the groundbreaking for a new Carnegie Mellon imaging center, which will be located in Wean Hall 3604. In order to move a new Siemens Verio 3T Scanner, which was paid for by a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, into Wean Hall, an access point is being created into the lower level of the south side of the building. The facility, which is expected to be completed in early 2010, will be used by HSS and School of Computer Science faculty, as well as several Pitt departments. Watch Just talk about the project.
