The technology and renovation upgrade of the three-story Donald W.

The new interior layout focuses on open, shared spaces as well as state-of-the-art video, audio and data technology systems.

A graduate studies suite and digital newsroom were among two of the new spaces created. Additional improvements included a new touch-screen directory and journalism archive in the lobby as well as new projectors, furnishings, and carpeting in several areas.
