Demolition of Smith Hall began this week and is expected to continue through early July. Construction of the new Chlapaty Center for Innovation – a transformative project that will enhance opportunities for teaching, learning, collaboration, and community engagement – will follow immediately afterward.

The Chlapaty Center for Innovation is anticipated to open fall 2027.
