Shown here are architectural renderings of the Sill Hall project, above, and the Rec/IM facility project, below. Campus Renovations You will notice construction trucks and orange fencing in several areas of campus. That’s because EMU’s physical campus is undergoing a bold transformation as the University creates new spaces that help our students, faculty and staff thrive. The University is strategically investing in improvements ranging from the renovation of academic buildings to upgrades in student housing, information technology and safety and security. Notable projects include: SILL HALL: The College of Technology was recently renamed the College of Engineering and Technology, and the college will be getting much-needed renovated space, as well. The Sill Hall project provides new engineering programs such as mechanical engineering and computer and electrical engineering with lab space for research, computer simulation, virtual and augmented reality and other specialty purposes, along with lecture halls, collaborative learning spaces and administrative offices. REC/IM: The Rec/IM facility, built in 1981, has not received any major improvements since its original construction. This long-anticipated project will reconfigure existing spaces to accommodate new and expanded locker rooms, modify the entry to the Club Pool and open spaces to accommodate cardio and weight training equipment. The project will be completed in phases, with a goal of full completion by fall 2020. EMU VISITORS GUIDE | 2021 17
