The renovation of Sadler Hall is still on track for completion in November and a move-in date for January 2023, according to Brooke Ruesch, director of project management.
“A few of the features that I am most excited about are the accessible ramps that we will be adding to the east side of the building to provide more abundant access options as well as the plan for the main entry lobby,” Ruesch said. “To create more of a grand space, we will be creating a double level entry versus the existing single level entry. This will not only bring height to the lobby but will bring a level of activity to the space and connect the third and second floors visually. I expect it to be really amazing once complete.”
Sadler Hall will provide a home for the John V. Roach Honors College, Academic Advising, the international studies program, and the departments of Comparative Race & Ethnic Studies and Women & Gender Studies, which are now within the AddRan College of Liberal Arts. It will also house classrooms, team rooms, student lounges and other needed space.
“A new, designated, exceptional academic home at the center of our campus speaks to the importance that TCU places on student success and academic achievement,” Teresa Abi-Nader Dahlberg, TCU provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, said. “The new Sadler Hall will help us recruit, retain and support even more academically talented TCU students.”
