2001 Sheridan Road
Facilities led a complete transformation of 2001 Sheridan Road, formerly known as the Donald P. Jacobs Center, into a hub for the social sciences at ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½. An exterior power wash brought new life to the original architecture, along with a newly landscaped main entrance and outdoor seating areas. Inside, the space features updated classrooms, state-of-the-art labs, collaboration spaces, and a new café to serve the building’s occupants.
This video provides a walkthrough of the building and a look at the new outdoor space.
