POLYTECHNIC BUILDING TO BE DEDICATED

Southeast Missouri State University will dedicate its new Otto and Della Seabaugh Polytechnic Building Sept. 15.

A number of dignitaries are expected to attend, including the Seabaughs of Cape Girardeau for whom the $9 million building is named, school officials said.

The Seabaughs gave more than $1 million to help construct the building. Otto Seabaugh is a 1936 industrial education graduate of Southeast. His wife, Della, graduated from Southeast in 1941 with a bachelor of science degree in education.

Visitors can tour the building following the dedication, officials said.

On Oct. 6, the three-story building also will be open for public tours during the university's Family Weekend celebration. Tours will be held during an open house from 2-3 p.m., school officials said. The building is located on the north side of the campus adjacent to the science buildings.
