Strategically located, the new Academic Learning Center will connect academic classrooms, the Student Enrichment Center, and the Madlyn L. Hanes Library. The 47,000-square-foot, two-story building will anchor the southern edge of the academic core and serve as a hub for teaching, research, and service. It will feature technologically rich classrooms and flexible spaces that support hands-on, interactive learning across disciplines. Twelve cutting-edge classrooms, ranging from 60 to 120 seats, will accommodate diverse teaching styles and learning experiences. With an expandable creative commons area to host a variety of campus events, the facility is thoughtfully designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and engagement across the campus community.
