NEW BUILDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES N
early two years after initial planning and start of construction, excitement is building at Rose-Hulman with the opening of a new academic building late this summer. With its new classrooms, laboratories, workspaces, and an interactive artistic exhibit that includes a programming component for students, the $29 million, 70,000-square-foot building further enhances the institute’s leadership role in undergraduate science, engineering and mathematics education. Situated between Moench Hall and Myers Hall on the east side of campus, it is the first academic-centric building added to the institute in nearly 25 years. The building is also the first on campus to meet new WELL-certified standards for design interventions, operational protocols and policies with a commitment to fostering a culture of health and wellness—important criteria in this post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
