Here are the projects Sala noted in his campus-wide email, sent Tuesday morning:

  • National Veterans Resource Complex: Construction on the veterans hub will begin in the next two weeks. The building is scheduled to open in spring 2020.
  • Women’s Building and Flanagan Gymnasium: Lighting and safety improvements near the Women’s Building are complete. The university also finished moving fitness facilities from Archbold Gymnasium to the Women’s Building and Flanagan as Archbold begins a multimillion-dollar renovation.
  • Day Hall: The university completed preliminary work on a bathroom project in December. More improvements to bathrooms and student rooms will begin later in the spring semester.
  • Graham Dining Center: Renovations to create a fitness center in room 001 have begun. The new fitness center will include aerobic exercise equipment and free weights.
  • Hall of Languages: Renovations to create two fully accessible, single-occupant bathrooms on the first floor will be completed by the end of January.
  • Huntington Hall: Two single-occupant bathrooms will be available by the start of the spring semester.
