Winter Break 2019-20 Campus Improvements

Each year, Facilities and Operations utilizes winter break to perform a significant amount of projects across the University, many that could only have been completed when the campus is less populated.

This winter break was no different, with Facilities and Operations completing a wide range of projects at the Morningside campus, including grounds improvements, classroom upgrades, and public space.  A highlight of improvements – some that are complete and others in progress – are outlined below for academic/administrative buildings and residence halls, in alphabetical order by building.
