CAMPUS
D-Building
After an 18-month makeover, Dunlap Hall is back in business.
Building upgrades include new
steel guardrails, upgraded elevators
that do not require key cards and a
staircase entry closer to the parking
lot south of the building.
The projected cost of the upgrades
was about $17.22 million, but a final
total for the project has not been
determined because some contracts are still being finalized, Vice
President of Administrative Services
Michael Collins said.
“It was so nice to be back in our
dedicated lab for physical anthropology. It was like coming back
home after being away for a year,”
anthropology professor Mario
Robertson said.
The updated classrooms now include instructional computers, projectors, speakers, and energy efficient LED lighting, Collins said.
An area west of the D-Building that
is now fenced off will become an
amphitheater that can be used as an
outdoor learning environment and
gathering space for students, faculty
and staff. / JOHN OLIVARES
