The University of Evansville will hold a dedication ceremony for the newly-renovated Hyde Hall on Thursday, May 9 at 4:30 p.m. The ceremony will be held in Shanklin Theater within Hyde Hall and media are invited to interview those involved and tour the building.
UE President Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz will lead the dedication and Abigail Werling, vice president for development and alumni relations, will also speak.
Hyde Hall is located in the heart of the UE campus and houses Shanklin Theatre, home of the University of Evansville’s nationally renowned undergraduate theatre program. Hyde Hall is also home to the administrative offices for the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences and other faculty offices, classrooms, and core learning spaces. Construction began in May 2018.
Renovations to Hyde Hall have provided academic space upgrades including interactive learning centers equipped with technology allowing for collaborative, project-based work and group learning. Along with upgraded learning spaces, Hyde Hall received an advanced energy efficient heating and cooling system, illustrating UE’s commitment to providing a sustainable, healthy learning environment.
