The new classroom building, at the corner of Perry Street and West Campus Drive, is on schedule to open for classes this fall.

The three-story, 73,400-square-foot building will contain 15 new classrooms and four teaching laboratories with seats for more than 1,450 students, as well as study rooms and group meeting space.

See construction progress from inside the building that's going on this summer in the photo gallery below.

Crews are installing a "skyfold" in a classroom, which is a sound control partition allowing classrooms to be divided when needed. The "skyfolds" will create flexible learning spaces. An open staircase within the building, with a skylight above, bringing natural light into the building. Here's a look into one of the classroom spaces, viewed through a glass corridor wall. A wall of windows is the feature of one of the building's study spaces. Light pours in from the skylight above the staircase. The building is being constructed to LEED certification standards. This is a third floor teaching lab, equipped with student group work stations. The classrooms have a raised floor construction, which allows flexibility to update the technological capacity of the rooms more easily in the future.
