Construction will begin in December on the Mell Classroom Building. The building will be 65,000 square feet and will be located on the west end of the library.
The building will contain two large lecture halls and general classrooms that can hold from 20-30 students to 60-80 students, according to Sarah Smith, campus architect.
According to Smith, all of the classrooms will have projection and white boards. Some rooms will have active learning capabilities for project-based learning.
There will be no labs or offices in the building.
Smith said that no parking will be added for this specific project but the master plan for campus will include parking.
The construction is estimated to take 16-18 months, so the facility is expected to open approximately fall 2017.
