Clark Revitalization
The Clark Revitalization Project is quietly underway, with Facilities, the design-build firm, Haseleden Hord Coplan Macht, and a College committee working to assess space needs, identify relocation options, and plan remediation. By the end of June, all units within the Clark A basement will be relocated and during the Fall 2023 semester, remediation will occur. In January 2024, all of Clark A will be offline as construction gets underway. See the timeline and more information about Clark on the CLA website.
The upcoming revitalization plans for the Clark Building will include a home for the College of Liberal Arts’ new Center for Engaged Humanities, thanks to funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Read more about the $500k Challenge Grant.
