Roy Blunt Hall Construction Update:

The new Blunt Hall addition is almost complete, and all of the labs are being populated by their new occupants. The new north and east entrances to the building are open. The south entrances will be open starting August 18. Please watch for signs to show students how to find their labs. Fall of 2025 we have access to most of the south side of the original building. The north side of second and fourth floors will not be used for the fall 2025 semester, but they will be available for the spring of 2026. That means we will not have access to the north side of third floor or the south side of fourth floor in the spring. All work, including the building exterior and landscaping on the south side will be ready for the Fall 2026 semester.

Cheek Hall Construction Update:

Current Construction Schedule – but know that this could change depending on what they find after they get started.

  • Construction Start: 06/23/2025 (Actual Start – 07/02/2025) – The mezzanine is now empty
  • Phase 1 Completion: 02/16/2026
