ETSU’s Lamb Hall is getting a facelift.
ETSU Chief Operating Officer Jeremy Ross said the construction plan is going to run smoothly for the next few years.
Lamb Hall, which was originally built on campus in 1960, will undergo an extensive makeover to make the building look more modern.
“It is a $23 million project,” Ross said. “Right now we are moving people out of Lamb, except for the dental hygiene clinic because that is a necessary clinic on campus.”
Lamb Hall is home to the College of Clinical and Rehabilitative Health Sciences where it has 29 classrooms specifically for the college. The majors of Dental Hygiene and Audiology and Speech Language Pathology.
The construction will start this summer, and the project is set to conclude in spring 2024.
“It is a long project,” Ross said. “Construction will end in late 2023, but by the time we move the equipment in it will be spring of 2024 that the new Lamb Hall will be available for use.”
The types of things focused on during the renovation are the research labs and offices. There will also be new features outside of the classrooms.
“There is an addition on two sides of Lamb Hall,” Ross said. “The entry way with a staircase for students to gather if they wish, and on the other side there will be brand new labs.”
Ross and others involved in the construction are looking forward to a new classroom look for Lamb Hall, and future and current students will be able to enjoy the new amenities coming in spring 2024.
