On October 04, 2010 a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Academic Building I was held.

Where once stood a Department of Sanitation garage, now stands a five story, 191,000 gross square foot brick structure – designed by renowned architect Todd Schliemann of Ennead Architects, L.L.P. (formerly Polshek Partnership) – featuring 87 faculty and administrative offices for all science departments, information technology services, and Public Safety; numerous student study areas; a faculty dining room; a glass pavilion, 264-seat dining hall; and a multi-purpose room to be used for lectures, concerts, and social functions.
