O'Donnell Hall

Phase I

The home of the College of Education, O'Donnell Hall was built in the mid 1960's. We completed Phase 1 of the renovation and addition to O'Donnell Hall. The building opened in the Spring of 2008 with a full schedule of classes. The enhancements to the building are numerous. We have Windows! All the regular classrooms have projectors, computer, video player, sound system and power screens. Technology will soon be installed in the remaining two seminar rooms.

Phase II

The Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders remains, for now, in the Speech building, though we hope to add on to O'Donnell Hall in the future. The majority of the Department of Human Performance, Dance and Recreation is located in the Activity Center; Athletic Training has offices in the Fulton Center.

Due to the unexpected growth in the college and in our grant programs, most of our Math and Science grants are housed outside O'Donnell Hall as well. A math, science and technology wing has been proposed to enable us to consolodate programs.

There are many other projects to talk about, but these are the ones that stand out this year. Each of these projects is made possible by your generosity and support of the College of Education.
