Below is a virtual tour of the new Founders Hall and the renovated Life Sciences Building, two Phase 1 Maintenance and Improvement Millage projects. We will be adding more photos of these and other Phase 1 Millage projects very soon, so stay tuned.
NOTE: All photos showing individuals who are not social distancing or wearing masks were taken prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Founders Hall
Founders Hall, which opened this Fall Semester, was created by combining two 1960s-era buildings – the former East and West Technology buildings – into a single, modern facility specifically designed to foster student success.
Life Sciences Building
Because the Life Sciences Building lacked adequate, modern space outside the classroom for students to work both collaboratively and independently, the college expanded it last year to include a new student collaboration wing. In addition, large masonry panels that lined the north and south sides of the building were replaced with a modern exterior facade system.
For information on other upgrades to these facilities and others, please go to the Millage Projects by Facility/Area page.
