A New LeBaron Hall
The new LeBaron Hall will be three stories above ground with a storage area in the basement. It will seamlessly connect to the adjacent Human Nutritional Sciences Building (HNSB). Existing space that connects HNSB, the LeBaron Auditorium and MacKay Hall will be renovated. The result of these projects will create an integrated Human Sciences Complex that anchors the north end of central campus.
