The new College of Education building alleviates the chronic space shortages in classrooms and laboratories as well as addresses the clinical and technological needs of the College’s post-baccalaureate and graduate programs. The new building brings together faculty, staff, classrooms and laboratories in the same building, thus improving the functioning of departments. Students have improved access to laboratories, study areas, program services and faculty offices.
The project was designed by LPA Architects and measures 81,300 assignable square feet (130,000 gross square feet) over three stories. Barnhart team members include Mike Barnum, John McDonald, Greg Gardiner, Greg Crowder and Joyce Chase.
