January 2007:
January 23rd was a special
day for all of us who care so deeply about Eastern
Michigan University. Faculty,
students, alumni, staff and members of the
media crammed into the Regents' Conference Room
that day to hear President Fallon announce
the launce of the first major capital construction
project on Eastern Michigan’s campus
in over a decade. It was exhilarating
to see so many members of the EMU community
gathered to share in this important moment.
President Fallon had the honor to announce
that the newly appointed EMU Board of Regents
had unanimously voted to proceed with the renovation
of the Mark Jefferson science building. To
be renamed the Mark Jefferson Science Complex,
the $100 million renovation will require the
remodeling of 180,000 square feet of existing
building and 150,000 square feet of new construction. The
project will be funded entirely by the University.
The new building will provide a wide mix of
laboratories and classroom spaces necessary
to expand and improve the university’s
science curriculum and keep EMU competitive
among peer institutions. The project is
essential if EMU is to remain a world-class,
comprehensive university.
