All five architecture programs will be in the same building for the first time once the College of Architecture moves into the completed Gould Hall this summer.

The college will begin moving back into the building May 16, university spokesman Chris Shilling said.

“Construction is substantially complete at this time. Installation of furnishings and equipment is under way,” Shilling said in an email. “The building will be fully occupied and utilized starting in the fall 2011 semester.”

Construction on Gould Hall started in 2008, and architecture students worked on projects in the old Hobby Lobby building on Main Street during that time, according to Daily archives.

The building was originally set for completion in January but was delayed due to asbestos problems and extensions to the projection, said David Nordyke, Architectural and Engineering Services director and senior project manager, in an April 6 story in The Daily.
