Zumberge Hall renovations offer more centralized offices
May 31, 2014
Over the 2013-2014 academic year, Grand Valley State University students and faculty watched the old Zumberge library transform into the new Zumberge Hall. As the fall semester approaches, members of the GVSU community are anxious to peek inside the renovated building and explore.
The renovations for the building will be completed within the $22 million budget that was originally allotted for the project.
“With a majority of administration departments located in one building, students, staff and faculty can handle many issues in one location,” said Scott Whisler, the project manager. “There are many resources for students within Zumberge Hall.”
The concentration of offices and resources is beneficial for more than just students.
“Having many departments in one location can make it easier and faster to communicate face to face,” Whisler said. “We have also created shared break rooms within the building to encourage a more collaborative work environment.”
