Good afternoon,

Good afternoon, We break ground next week for
the Academic Success Center building on our
campus that will house all of our programs,
including drop-in tutoring. I have attached PPT
slides that show the floor plans. Please note
that we have made a few more changes since I
received this rendering from the architects last
fall, and I don't have an electronic copy of the
updated floor plan. The building will be 35,000
sq. ft in 3 floors. I also attached the most
recent rendering of the main entrance side. (The
other side has like a second "main entrance",
will be directly onto the second floor. The
building will sit on a slope, on a main walkway
from west to east campus and students will be
able to pass through the building, and thus be
exposed to our programs and space available for
their use, etc. () The first floor will
consist of drop-in tutoring rooms (note that
tables in these rooms will have a section at one
end that is height adjustable to accommodate
wheel chairs. We have been trying to follow
Universal Design as much as possible - Student
Disability Services is a part of our center and
will be housed with us in the new building.),
study lounges, a help center for the eportfolio
(now a requirement for graduation), 2 small
editing rooms and a case study auditorium.
Second floor will be offices, test proctoring
center and other administration spaces. The two
classrooms have been modified to house our
ePortfolio director (complete with a production
studio) and a Creative Inquiry (undergraduate
research program) director. Third floor will be
all classrooms - for our use! We will now be able
to have additional space for tutoring and to
offer some SI sessions during the day. Our
freshman seminar course will also be taught
primarily in these rooms. There are now several
small group project rooms in the building that
students can reserve. We are very excited to
see this building become a reality. The Class of
1956 took this on as their golden anniversary
project and raised 25 of the total construction
costs - so we will become the Class of 1956
Academic Success Center. We expect completion by
the end of 2009. Right now we plan to be open
from 8am - 12 midnight. Our library is adjacent
to this space and is open 24/7. Feel free to let
me know if you have any questions about our new
facility. Elaine M. Elaine Richardson, PhD
