BSCI Invests in Renovated Offices for Growing Faculty
The McWhorter School of Building Science (BSCI) has once again upgraded its facilities in the M. Miller Gorrie Center to support its expanding faculty and programs.
“This growth brings exciting opportunities,” said Richard Burt, McWhorter Endowed Chair and BSCI School Head. “Our undergraduate program has grown by 50% over the last six years, and we now graduate 60 students each. With growth like this, evaluating and updating office space becomes essential.”
BSCI’s renovation transformed a single faculty office and adjacent graduate student space into five modern faculty offices. The new offices will house BSCI’s newest faculty member, Steve Aydelott, along with faculty members Kenneth Sands, Jake Elbrecht, Ben Marshall and Bob Muir. Located on the second floor of Gorrie, the upgraded space features fresh carpet, updated paint and custom office layouts to meet faculty needs.
“Changes like this provide faculty with the environment they need to collaborate, meet or focus on their work,” Burt said. “It’s an exciting time as we continue to grow in multiple ways.”
