The College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences (CHBS) at Radford University is building a new home with the Mosely Architects of Virginia Beach, featuring new learning spaces and professional quality areas for students.
The new spaces are designed to match the real-life environments where students will be working
during their internships or after they graduate. The $52.8 million building measures 143,600 square feet.
“There is a growing sense of excitement,”
CHBS Dean
Kate Hawkins said. “The college’s faculty and staff are chomping at the bit to get in and get started.”
The new building will unite the School of Communication with departments of Psychology, Criminal Justice, Sociology, English, Foreign Language, Philosophy & Religious Studies, History, Political Science, and the Office of the Dean.
“I am immensely proud of the people from our programs who found so many creative and innovative ways to use space on behalf of the students, faculty and university,” Hawkins said.
The new space will give the school a new advantage in the learning process.
“It has been a whirlwind of activity with faculty from across the college working to crystalize a vision that the architects were able to capture,” she said. “They captured the goal of uniting the college with campus and the community in a building that facilitates collaboration and prepares our students and faculty for success.”
