Alumni
may remember Reno Hall with its 70s-style dorm rooms and bright
orange and brown decor. The building had been closed to students
for the past three years because it needed costly renovation. It
reopened this fall and now serves as home to the Education, Psychology
and Counseling & Addiction Studies departments and the Psychology
and Counseling clinics. The building’s interior has been remodeled
in neutral, inviting tones. The three-story building now includes
a large reception/conference area, an I-smart internet-wired classroom,
counseling rooms and lounges. The dorm rooms have been converted
to faculty and staff offices.
The
programs and offices moved from the Outer Drive Campus as part of
the University’s strategic plan to move all academic and administrative
undergraduate and graduate programs to the McNichols Campus. The
Language and Cultural Training and Theatre programs are the last
Liberal Arts & Education program to move to McNichols, and are
scheduled to move to Reno Hall next year.
