As Tech’s College of Business students start the fall term, they will see Johnson Hall reproduced in Foundation Hall.
Johnson Hall is undergoing major renovations.
Director of Program Development and Engagement Cheryl Montgomery said the College of Business had worked extensively over the summer with University Facilities to replicate the college’s teaching and learning spaces in Foundation Hall.
“We had a few classes that we weren’t able to get into Foundation Hall, so we’re utilizing the other wonderful buildings on Tech’s campus,” Montgomery said. “The Stoncipher Auditorium, Kittrell Hall, Oakley Hall, T.J. Far and the Library.”
Montgomery said that although all the student lounge furniture and offerings were moved to Foundation Hall, they divided the lounge among three study areas. She said the arrangement continues to provide all the features that students previously used.
Montgomery said there were many improvements to Foundation Hall to prepare it for its new temporary purpose supporting the College of Business. She said the infrastructure was updated, electrical was upgraded, and new technology was installed along with carpet and painting. She said these upgrades will be enjoyed by all who use the hall even after The College of Business returns to Johnson Hall.
“When the College of Business moves back into its permanent home in Johnson Hall, we will find an upgraded footprint in the original building with some additional square footage added to the building,” Montgomery said. “And it will be a much improved teaching and learning environment for our students.”
