Schoenecker Center on the Road to Completion

The summer on south campus has been an active one as construction crews continue work on the four-story, $110 million Schoenecker Center supporting engineering, arts and the sciences. The new facility is scheduled to open next spring. Staff videographer Nick Clausen used a first-person view drone to capture footage of the progress.
