New center to open next semester without many technological advancements

The ILC - a $20 million underground computer and classroom center for first- and second-year students - will be dedicated today, but the facility will not be the high-tech marvel officials once envisioned.

However, officials settled speculation earlier this month by announcing that the Integrated Learning Center will open in January, but with less technology and staff.
