<p>Can a current student please comment on how these renovations may affect the availability of lab space for scheduling lab sections for classes, particularly orgo and inorganic that pre-meds need to take? Is this something that a future chem major should consider if accepted and making final decision of school to attend?</p>
<p>The renovations should definitely NOT be considered when making the final decision--there will undoubtedly be plenty of lab space. The article is just saying that they're about to undergo a (cheaper) renovation in KBT rather than actually expand SCL.</p>
