The project is being planned by the architectural firm of Fleischman Garcia Architects. On January 16, 2007, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Allstate Construction, Inc.

Additionally, the Administrative Suite will be reconfigured for improved operations, and Student Dining will be expanded to include a multipurpose room with stage and a Faculty Dining space.
