Workspaces for talented
faculty and staff
Renovated workspaces are conducive to creativity, collaboration, and learning.
IGNITE Reinvention
Most of the College’s faculty and staff offices have remained untouched since Phase I of the “new building” opened in 1972 and Phase II opened in 1974. For nearly 50 years, faculty and staff have occupied offices that are increasingly worn, outdated, not equipped with necessary technology, in dire need of repair, and are not conducive to one’s best work on behalf of the College.
During the IGNITE campaign, the College of Dentistry is creating a sustainable model of dental education, recruiting and retaining talented faculty, and promoting relevant research that includes basic and translational science and communitybased activities. As part of the College of Dentistry’s $37 million IGNITE campaign initiatives, the College seeks leadership funding to support the renovation of faculty and staff offices within the College of Dentistry building. Renovation of faculty and staff offices directly contributes to the College’s IGNITE priorities because, if we are able to achieve this goal, we will be supporting faculty development, student success, research discoveries, interdisciplinary work, and community engagement.
Impactful Renovation
The updated spaces will provide a distraction-reduced atmosphere for faculty and staff to meet with students and residents, colleagues, and department heads as well as serving as a comfortable place for faculty and staff training and essential meetings. Without the College’s hard-working, prolific, and dedicated faculty and staff, we would not be able to facilitate the kind of ground-breaking education, research, care, and services that change the lives of thousands of people every year. Our faculty and staff deserve workspaces that promote the transformational work that they perform at the College.
