The administration certainly is not shy about building things on campus. Long term financing for capital projects is at a low. Seems to me there is always some project being built on campus over the last few recent years. Recent additions that come to my mind are the townhomes ( now being expanded) , Dolan Business, Nursing school, Tully Dinning Commons , new dorm, media center, health center, baseball batting building , rowing center and now the crown jewel , the convocation center.

Does anyone know what the plan is for the old Dolan School of Business building?

I believe one side of the former Dolan School has been renovated into a media center as stated. I noticed the ongoing construction when visiting the campus prior to COVID restrictions. However, I believe the other side ( former conference center sleeping rooms) are being used as a quarantine center for students who caught the “Vid” as the students call it. Perhaps someone can confirm?
That side of the building could be renovated into a Visual Arts/ Communications center for undergraduates/ graduate students.
