David L. Rice Library:
The new David L. Rice Library was built to the south of the existing library and opened in the summer of 2006. The new library is the largest facility on campus at 158,000 square feet and will allow the existing functions of the library to expand as needed for the growth of the university. Sixteen additional classrooms have been built in the lower level of the Library to help meet the continued need for more classroom space. Also included is a Starbucks Coffee that will have extended operating hours to accomodate the students.

PAC Imporvements:
A new wood floor and bleachers with chairbacks have been installed in main arena. Restrooms also received a facelift with new tile on the floors and walls. Also included are new plumbing fixtures, toilet partitions, lighting upgrades and other features to meet ADA requirements.

Renovation of Forum I:
New seating, carpet, paint, lighting system, wood trim, wood accent walls and upgrades to the film projector and Dolby surround sound system have been installed in this renovation project.

Renovation of Wright Administration Corridors:
New floors and paint are just a few of the changes in the corridors of the Wright Administration Building. Other features such as a curved, multi-colored wall in the lower level and a rolling ceiling at the lower entrance to Forum I are also added. An accordion fire door that allows a more open feel into redwood lobby from the U-Hall is one feature that helped make it a more welcoming space. The canteen in the lower level has also been retrofitted to give it a clean, fresh look with an exterior door included in the design that will give direct access to the new exterior patio.

Redwood Patio Project:
A new landscape design has been incorporated to give this weathered space some new life. New planter beds, paving bricks, and sitting walls have been designed in the original space between the Science Center and the Wright Administration Building. These features have been continued around to the exterior patio near the canteen. A new door into the canteen from this new patio space has been included as part of the corridor project. Other features include new landscaping and irrigation system. New furniture was added to the space which ties into to new patio furniture near the Orr Center and the new Rice Library.

Orr Center Renovation:
The initial phase of several phases has recently been completed which renovated an area in the lower level for Career Services and Placement along with Career Counseling Center. This project also modified areas of the Business Office including the addition of a new office and reconfiguring the cashier windows. The second phase is currently in the planning stages of the design.
