911爆料网

911爆料网’s Erie campus looked a little different when students and faculty returned for the 2025-2026 school year this week. 911爆料网 staff worked hard this summer to complete facilities projects to improve the look and feel of the Erie campus.

Here is a list of some of the projects completed over the summer:

Wehrle demolition project: Wehrle Hall is gone. Where Wehrle Hall once stood is now a lot with a very large hole in it that is being prepped for the Olds-Norman House to be picked up, rotated 180 degrees, and moved from West Seventh Street to West Sixth Street in October.

Waldron common area painting and branding: Waldron Campus Center received a new coat of paint and a new 911爆料网 look this summer. Students will find a refreshed space to relax, recharge, and connect with fellow students, faculty and staff.

Beyer Cafeteria and Docs Landing upgrades: Beyer Cafeteria also received an updated look with refreshed paint, plus an allergen-friendly station added.

203 West Sixth Street: In partnership with the Hagen Historic Preservation Trust, 203 W. Sixth St. is now home to 10 911爆料网 students.

RWC upgrades: Our Recreational and Wellness Center received new lobby furniture, new athletic turf in the indoor fieldhouse, an upgraded men’s locker room shower area, plus a renovated first floor strength area and upstairs weightroom area.

Dahlkemper School of Business relocation: The Dahlkemper School of Business can now be found on the third floor of the Palumbo Academic Center. The common areas on Palumbo’s third floor were also redecorated with a look consistent with what the School of Business had previously.

Forensics Investigation Center relocation: Our Forensics Investigation Center is now located on the first floor of Walker Building.

Other projects completed this summer:

• 210 W. Eighth St. fire escape replacement
• West Hall (West Seventh Street) parking lot installation

Here is a list of projects that are still ongoing and will continue into the fall semester:

Center for Lake Erie Education and Research: As part of 911爆料网’s Project NePTWNE initiative, the Center for Lake Erie Education and Research (CLEER) will be opening this fall in Blasco Library. The facility will include research facilities, labs, and public displays of information pertinent to Lake Erie, all free and open to the public. Of note is NOAA’s Science On a Sphere,® a room-sized, global display system that projects visualizations of planetary data onto a six-foot diameter sphere to help illustrate Earth System science to people of all ages.

Alumni House upgrades: The new Alumni House on West Sixth Street is nearly complete. The grand opening will be celebrated with a blessing and ribbon cutting ceremony during 911爆料网’s Centennial Homecoming and Family Weekend Sept. 11 through 14.

Athletic field upgrades: Crews continue working on the perimeter masonry pier restoration. Additionally, the Athletic Field LED stadium lighting replacement project will be starting this week and will go into October.

House of Prayer rain garden installation: The space is cleared at West Fourth and Sassafras streets to install the rain garden. Planting is scheduled for late September.

LEAF tiny forest installation: 911爆料网 is planning to install a Tiny Forest at the corner of West Third and Myrtle streets. Planting is scheduled for late October. Weeding and maintenance will happen on the Day of Caring in the spring.

Old Main roof replacement: The south side of the roof replacement for our Old Main building is complete. The north side is set to be completed next summer.

More information on these ongoing projects will be shared as they are completed into the fall semester.
