“Brown Hall brings together an array of academic disciplines in collaboration,” Roellke said. “That collaboration is essential for the growth and discovery of new ideas, and our ability to problem solve and think critically about the issues that confront us in the world.”
Construction began in June 2021 after funding was received from Cici and Hyatt Brown back in 2018.
Students, faculty and staff will begin using the building in January with the start of the Spring 2023 semester.
