Enhance Classroom and Campus Community

Create modern, flexible spaces that strengthen learning, living, wellness, competition, collaboration, and belonging across campus.

A campus teaches. The lab bench, the studio, the court, the hallway outside a professor's office — each one carries part of the curriculum.

This priority modernizes teaching technology, completes the Petrick Idea Center, sustains the Shirk Center, and renews residence halls so the place matches the education it houses.
