The School of Education Building was designed by O’Brien/Atkins Associates of Durham, North Carolina and opened in spring 2011. It is approximately 110,000 square feet in area and houses a number of general University classrooms ranging in size from 40 seats to 300 seats.
It is the first building on campus built to the LEED Silver standards, which means it will be the required criteria for sustainability as defined by the U. S. Green Building Council.
