New Outdoor Collaborative Learning Space

Next week we will begin work on a new outdoor collaborative learning space. The area between A-building and B-building will transform into a beautifully landscaped area for faculty, staff, and students to gather. The inviting, informal space will support our efforts to promote collaboration not only inside the classroom but outside as well. Thanks to employee input from the 2007 listening sessions and Campus Master Plan visioning sessions, we are making this concept a reality.

A portion of the parking lot between the Administration Building and A-building will be closed off to allow for the construction contractor to bring in equipment and materials. Handicap parking spaces will still be available and appropriate ramps will be added in the interim. Pedestrian traffic will be routed around the construction area. Our goal is to have construction completed by early December.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue our efforts to enhance the campus environment.

Seeing this go from design to reality is exciting. I appreciate the vision and follow-thru shown by Dr. Rutherford and our planning team as we move this campus plan forward in particularly challenging budget times...
