Walking through the halls of many buildings on campus, students may have noticed that offices have started to empty out, construction crews have moved in, and change is on the horizon.

This project, according to Creighton University Campus Development, is the largest renovation project in Creighton’s history. It involves the renovation of seven different buildings including Brandeis Hall, Creighton Hall, Eppley Building, Harper Center, Humanities and Hitchcock Communications, Reinert Alumni Library and the west section of the Old Gym.

“Students will realize benefits in upgraded classroom technology and some upgrades to the classroom seating. We have been able to design several collaborative areas that will benefit student-student and student-faculty interaction. Faculty and staff will experience generally larger offices and newer furnishings,” Assistant Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences Mark Turner said.

Turner added that several of the departments in the College of Arts & Sciences will move in the next to new locations in the next 6 months. The main reason for the renovation and relocation of offices is in order to fully use all of the space available in the best way.

The major moves include the Arts & Sciences Dean’s office, which will move from Creighton Hall to the second floor of the Eppley Building (currently COBA) right after spring break.  The Math department will move from the Old Gym to lower Brandeis after spring break, as an interim location. The College of Business will be moving to the Harper Center, and the International Programs offices as well as the Vice President of Student Life will move from the Harper Center to Creighton Hall.

The History department will move from Creighton Hall to the second floor of Humanities. The Modern Languages department will move from Humanities to the first floor of Hitchcock. The Education department will move from Hitchcock to the fourth floor of Eppley. The Energy Technology program will move from the Pittman building to the Walsh Lecture Hall. All of these changes will occur in August 2013.
