The Board of Trustees approved a new building for the College of Arts and Sciences at their November 2014 meeting. The new CAS building will add academic, administrative, meeting, and study space to campus when it is finished in 2017-2018. The building will absorb many of the offices and classrooms that are currently in the Humanities Building, as well as add space for other needs. The location of and plans for the building are being assessed, but the College hopes to break ground in late 2015.
