SJMC prepares for renovation, relocation
SJMC faculty, staff and student organizations are preparing for the yearlong renovation of Meredith Hall. The renovation, which will include upgrades to heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical and technology systems, will require the building to be closed through the 2022-23 academic year. Meredith Hall must be vacated beginning June 1. SJMC faculty and staff offices, student media organizations and the School’s electronic media facilities will be relocated to vacant Drake-owned buildings on 25th Street near the historic Varsity Theater across from campus. Spaces are being refurbished to accommodate a studio and control room, podcasting booths, a computer lab and classroom, and meeting spaces. Faculty and staff are happy we’ll be together in the same “home” space, and committed to recreating the same great SJMC experience for our students in a new location. Keep an eye out for photos and an “open house” in fall 2022!
Paid student positions available: Students who are available throughout May to help pack up Meredith Hall and prepare for the relocation are encouraged to contact Dean Kathleen Richardson (kathleen.richardson@drake.edu) for details.
