Recent, Current and Future Renovations (Capital Projects) The College building is over 100 years old, necessitating significant improvements to provide contemporary teaching facilities and enhanced student life space. The College has maintained a strong program to rehabilitate and renovate its facilities. The State has provided significant investment in our facilities leading to major renovations (some completed and others ongoing) that have transformed a challenge into one of our strongest assets. Since 2011, over $40M has been invested.
