Renaming of the ELB

The Engineering Lab Building has been officially renamed the Tony England Engineering Lab Building, in honor of the former CECS Dean.  In addition to replacing and adding signage with the new name, Facilities Planning worked with External Relations to develop a history wall that stands in the ELB atrium.

Renaming of the University Center

The University Center building has been officially renamed the James C. Renick University Center, in honor of our former Chancellor Renick.  Exterior building signs were replaced to reflect the new name.  Aluminum lettering was installed just inside the main entrance, and honorary plaques were installed at the front and rear of the building, in time for the official renaming ceremony. Campus roadway directional signs were updated to reflect the new building names and other changes.

Fieldhouse Flood Remediation and Gym Floor Replacement

A "500-year rain event" in June of 2021 overwhelmed the existing stormwater infrastructure at the Fieldhouse, resulting in a complete loss of the wood gym floor.  Stormwater management systems capable of handling the increasing occurrence of heavy rainfall events and the resulting flooding were installed, and the gym floor was replaced.

New carpet, paint, lighting, power, and furniture provide an updated space to house this state-of-the-art iMac lab in the CASL building that provides students with access to the latest Digital Arts technology.
