Academic Hall - Modern updates will be added to offices on the building bottom floor while historical elements will stay intact. Failing infrastructure will be completed with replacement of mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. "One-stop" student services will be the result of relocating several offices. (Laura Simon)
