An Improved Educational Experience<br />
Over the summer of 2015, five classrooms on the second floor of the<br />
Ryan Building on the Institute Campus were completely renovated.<br />

Granados ’16 take notes and research information<br />
during Mr. Steve Hopkins’ class.<br />
Classrooms 213,<br />
214, 218, 219 and<br />

units along with<br />
new lighting, doors,<br />
dropped ceilings and<br />
whiteboards while also<br />
receiving new coats of<br />
paint.<br />
In addition, each of the classrooms also received updated flooring as<br />
vinyl tile was installed.<br />
The cost of renovating each classroom was $25,000 apiece.<br />
