e are thrilled to be back in our home, the Patricia A. Bartlett Building. The renovation of our space would not have been possible without the generosity of our dedicated friends, particularly Patricia and Bruce Bartlett, along with the flexibility and support of our architects, contractors, campus colleagues, team, students, and families. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this project such a triumph. Our benefactors, Patricia and Bruce Bartlett, have seen us grow throughout their 12-year relationship with our program. As they watched our enrollment increase and our space decrease, Pat said they felt compelled to do something that would enhance the way we deliver academic support to our students:
“Supporting the SALT Center gives us great satisfaction because we see the immediate results of our philanthropy. Nowhere else have we witnessed this kind of enthusiasm for student support and success.”

We were fortunate to have Gould Evans, architects of record, bring our vision for our renovated space to life. Working alongside JWR Burkel Construction, they said this project was unique: “It gives us such an amazing feeling to know that the spaces we create will have a positive impact on both students and team members at the SALT Center.” Our new and improved spaces are providing incredible enhancements to our services. Students are already enjoying the new communal areas and educational technology. Student, Greg Merkel, says that the expanded tutoring space has made the biggest difference for him:
“With the increased space for tutoring appointments and studying, I will be able to utilize services more productively than in the past.”
