story interior renovation of a building built in 1960. Named in honor of Chancellor MacGruder Ellis Sadler, who led the university from 1941 through 1965. The renovated building will now consist of levels 1 & 2 mainly for classrooms, while levels 3 & 4 are primarily office spaces except for two classrooms. Partial removal of the level 3 slab allowed a taller ceiling design as you enter through the main entrance on level 2. The new steps & ramps found on the main entry are made of cold-formed metal framing with structural concrete board topped off with a Terrazzo finish.
