Tech has released images and more information today about some of its upcoming construction projects.

New Fitness Center

With its prominent location, the new Fitness Center is designed to be the new campus “front door” attracting prospective students while serving current students and faculty.








New Science Building

The new science building, once completed, will be the largest academic building on campus. The building will house the chemistry department and a portion of the biology department.

There will also be labs for Earth sciences, physics and environmental sciences. In keeping with the university’s master plan, the building will be located immediately north of the Capital Quad residence halls on the site of a current parking lot. It will be the key feature of a future east-west academic mall.









Jere Whitson Hall renovation

Former home of the university library, renovations to Jere Whitson Hall will transform the historic building into the campus visitor and welcome center, as well as serve as a one-stop shop for students. The renovated space will include the following offices: admissions, financial aid, advisement, academic services, records and registration and military and veteran affairs.

Consolidation of these offices into one space will make it much easier on students who need assistance, and well as providing important navigation help for incoming students and their families. Additionally, the Backdoor Playhouse will take up space in the entire basement.







Golden Eagle Golf Club

An 18-hole golf course donated to the university last year, improvements to the course include potential property acquisitions to expand the footprint in order to host championship tournaments, as well as renovations to the club house and grounds.
