Demolition and asbestos abatement are complete and construction work is advancing on several fronts. Wall framing and dry wall are well underway along with runs for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. </p> <p> The project entails constructing two classrooms in former lounge areas. Old dorm rooms will be converted into office space, testing labs and support space for the math department. </p> <p> Work also involves code and energy updates, new windows and a new roof. Work will be complete in August 2014. </p> </div><!-- EDIT2 PLUGIN_WRAP_END [0-] --> </div>

He was an internationally famous member of the mathematical community. His contributions included a major role in the code-breaking operation at Bletchley Park during World War II, where he worked with Alan Turing, and important research contributions to topology, homological algebra, elementary number theory, combinatorics, and polyhedral geometry, as well as mathematics education at all levels. A collection of memoirs by people who knew Peter has been published in the December 2011 issue of Notices of the American Mathematical Society. </p> </div><!-- EDIT3 PLUGIN_WRAP_END [0-] --> </div>
