In December 2024, 56 College of Education (COE) faculty and staff who had been working in the Park Central Office Building downtown moved to Hill Hall on the Missouri State University campus.
The COE is now centered in three key buildings: Hill Hall, the Child Development Center and Greenwood Laboratory School.
COE Dean Dr. Barri Tinkler has expressed her excitement at the recent move.
“It’s amazing to have more of our faculty and staff together in Hill Hall,” she said. “Given the 100-year history of this building and its ties to teacher education, it feels very meaningful to have everyone together in this building.”
