Ongoing campus construction projects on track for completion

Two on-campus buildings being renovated to house colleges are on track to be completed on schedule, according to USC architect Derek Gruner.

Construction on the Horseshoe building that will house the College of Journalism and Mass Communications is both under budget and on schedule to complete construction in June 2015, according to USC spokesman Wes Hickman.

"That gives plenty of time for a methodical move-in for fall 2015," Gruner told the USC board of trustees Friday.

Hamilton College, which is being fully renovated to house the College of Social Work is also on schedule to be completed in July 2015. Hamilton's windows have been removed and a second floor has been added to what was once the building's gymnasium.

Gruner said the building will return to the classroom setting it was in the 1940s. Classes in the College of Social Work have been split between seven buildings across campus over the years and will move to one central location for the first time.
