Project Description: A phased building renovation for the College of Education on the second through fifth floors of the Sanchez Building (SZB) consolidated student-focused services and amenities at the main entrance of the second floor, creating a welcoming and visible entry for the “one-stop-shop” of student advising, counseling and IT help desk as well as a new student lounge for collaboration. It centered the work of students, providing collaborative spaces for academic learning and ready access to the services students need. The project also created a centralized and flexible research space to accommodate externally funded research projects that will help recruit nationally prominent researchers and faculty. While consolidating spaces with similar programmatic functions for efficiency, the project also addressed code and equipment upgrades. In addition, this SZB project increased the visibility and positive image of the college to the public.
