Facility Improvements

The building that houses the School of Education is a campus landmark and an architectural treasure. Originally built in 1921, it is a handsome structure cherished in memory by generations of alumni. However, its spaces are not always amenable to the work of 21st century students, teachers and researchers, who must collaborate and communicate, often across space and time, in imaginative and unprecedented ways.

In order to accommodate our programs, technologies, techniques, and research, the School will embark on a series of carefully planned renovations. Upon completion, our refurbished building will enable us to view and study settings far from campus, work with others at distant institutions, and analyze new forms of data in collaborative environments.

Our goal is to create flexible and hospitable classrooms, lecture halls equipped with state-of-the-art technology, improved spaces for research and collaboration, updated laboratories, and new facilities such as a digital library and archive. We will also upgrade our technology infrastructure and wireless capabilities to support the innovative opportunities we can offer in our programs.

A gift of $50,000 can provide the resources necessary to renovate and upgrade a classroom with the latest technology, or redesign and equip a research laboratory with state-of-the-art tools for data collection and analysis.
