Student Success Center
The Undergraduate Advising Resource Center, the Counseling Center, Career Services, and the Center for Academic Resources will be housed in the facility. The project will be the largest state building to date to feature a geothermal heat field, which takes advantage of moderate temperatures in the earth to provide heat in the winter and coolant in the summer. It is expected to be 75 percent more efficient than current construction. The University broke ground on this project in summer 2009 and construction will be complete in summer 2010.
