Building on the Past, Reimagining the Future of Education

A scaled, wood model of the Education Building is ready and waiting for the fall graduate design studio project in the School of Architecture.

Built in the 1964, the College of Education building is being “reimagined” to preserve and to restore the physical home of the College as we undertake new strategic initiatives that will bring the College back into a position of national preeminence.  The building’s original architect, Dick Williams, at the age if 93, is scheduled to be back on campus three times in the coming year to work with faculty and graduate students from the School of Architecture to envision the future of the current building, including an addition to allow us to move all faculty and students back into one faculty into one facility. 

A semester long graduate studio class will generate several new potential, detailed conceptual models of a dramatically reimagined facility. Detailed, scale models of the current building and site have already been constructed as a starting point for the course.

Stay tuned for more information on plans for a building campaign which will result in the renovation/expansion of the Education Building!
