Project Update:
The College is in the final phase of the audit application.  Following a final review, the application was submitted to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. 

College Walk Reconstruction
Project Description:
This project would renew and/or replace College Walk into an inviting pedestrian space.

Project Update:
College administrators have reviewed all the design proposals and a contract will be awarded in the near future for this project.  The project is scheduled to commence construction in fall 2010 with an anticipated completion date of spring 2012. 

L-Wing Renovation
Project Description:
The College has hired an architect to design the adaptive re-use/renovation of the L-Wing swimming pool area into academic and administrative space along with a 2-story art gallery.  The area will also house tiered classrooms, The William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy and the Affirmative Action and Ethical Standards offices.

Project Update:
