The Move

Just like moving to a new house, there are many logistical details to move a university to a new campus. From determining where people and programs will go, to getting internet set up, to even learning about the quirks of each building, there is a lot to accomplish before we can open our doors.

Working groups – made up of content experts from various areas of the university – have been established to tackle the pressing logistical opportunities and challenges of making the campus ready for students, employees and community members.
