Just as there is excitement across campus today as first year students move in to their residence halls, there is also much excitement in Founders and Green halls today as faculty move in to newly renovated offices there.
After a rigorous eight weeks, the renovations in Founders/Green this summer are nearly complete. You may continue to see some minor construction activity into September, as the finishing touches are made.
The work this summer brought together academic departments in one location, updated faculty offices, modernized classrooms, and improved the accessibility of these buildings—including installing a new ramp on the second floor above the iconic archway and widening the corridors.
