Faculty and staff were busy cleaning their offices out Dec. 17 as workers moved desks, chairs and filing cabinets from Carlton Building, which will undergo an extensive renovation beginning in January. Details...
The $2 million renovation project was approved by the Board of Trustees during its October meeting. The first floor of Carlton will house the Isabella Cannon Centre for International Studies, which coordinates Elon’s extensive study abroad programs, along with El Centro De Espanol, the university’s conversational Spanish language center. The second floor will include a state-of-the-art language learning center, featuring a sophisticated aural learning lab along with technology to give students access to international media resources. The third floor will house the English department and include classroom and office space.
A $150,000 grant for the project has been received from the Booth Ferris Foundation of New York.
