President, Provost offices to relocate as plans start for Wright Administration Building renovation

The bidding stage has begun for upcoming renovations and construction work in the Wright Administration Building. In anticipation of the work—set to possibly begin in early August—plans are underway to relocate several departments and offices from the building.

The President and Provost offices will be moved to temporary spaces in the Orr Center on Friday, July 25. Beginning Monday, July 28, the offices will be located in Suite 3057 on the third floor of the Orr Center. Those located in this suite will be:

• President Steve Bridges
• Carey Beury, Senior Executive Associate to the President
• Nita Musich, Senior Executive Assistant to the President for Board and Executive Relations
• Shelly Blunt, Provost
• Jason Hardgrave, Assistant Provost for Academic Affairs
• Michele Duran, Provost’s Senior Administrative Associate
• Michelle Simmons, Provost’s Administrative Associate
• Juli Huss, Senior Administrative Associate for Finance and Administration

Phone numbers for these employees will remain the same during the temporary relocation and construction.

As plans for the first phase of work in the building continue, more departments will be moved to temporary locations in the Orr Center or other locations. More information on those department locations will be provided closer to moving dates.

Planned work will include needed renovations and restructuring of offices and classrooms in the building, as well as improvements to HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems, communications technology and structural updates. The project has an anticipated completion date of early 2027.
