Construction for the new SFSOBA offices
You probably have heard (literally) the construction that has begun in the old student life area and lower levels of the Union building. This is the final phase of construction of the Schroeder Family School of Business Administration building. New School of Business Administration offices will enable us to be in the building with you and the classes. This phase of construction also includes two additional classrooms and a new Dunigan Hall. The lower level work will give us three case-study rooms with a new hallway for access to the classrooms. Work on the lower level also includes office space for the Department of Law, Politics and Society faculty and staff. The estimated completion date and move in will be during the summer of 2009, and we will be ready for your return in the fall. We are very excited about the coming months and what it brings. We hope that the noise created by the construction isn’t too distracting. These growing pains will end with a wonderful new facility for the campus. |
