Campus-wide facility renovation projects are underway at MacMurray College this summer. The projects will improve living and learning conditions for MacMurray students.

Improvements include new sprinkler systems and painting at Norris House and Kendall Hall dormitories, remodeling the Julian Hall labs for Biology, expanding computer work stations in the library, resurfacing the student parking lot, and other miscellaneous projects around campus. The total cost of these projects is $543,000.

Norris and Kendall improvements will be complete by August 21. The dorms will be ready to house students for the 2010-11 school year. The two buildings were closed for repairs and updates at the end of the academic year in May.
