An expansion of space and a refinement of business programs is coming to
Walsh College in Troy as part of $15 million in renovations, additions and improvements.
The changes include a two-story, 27,000-square-foot renovation and addition to Walsh's original 1970s-era campus building and the redesign and modernization of 28,000 square feet of interior spaces on campus.
Construction will begin in late summer and is expected to be completed within 18 months. When finished, distinct pavilions will offer a business communication-focused student success center, a student lounge and a student services center.
The project will be guided by
Valerio Dewalt Train Associates, the renovator of Walsh's Barry Center that opened in 2007.
The student success center will offer technologically advanced services and equipment meant to respond to the demand of employers and students for more business communication skills and leadership training.
Inside the center, students can work on presentations in various digital and electronic formats at new work stations, practice presentations and other projects in simulated workplace environments and have access to videoconferencing.
The new student lounge will have interactive meeting spaces and additional study areas and the new student services center will house all the departments of Walsh College, making taking care of college business faster and easier. There will also be more private meeting space for students and advisors.
