Centenary College of Louisiana says the total cost of updating Mickle Hall will be $30 million. Fundraising and partnerships will help the college pay for the renovation
To appropriately house and provide the needed resources for the college's School of Health Sciences, the Mickle facility will be upgraded with a Health Sciences Pavilion that accommodates flexible classroom environments, modern laboratories and a studio-format design that is optimal for discovery-based teaching.
“Together, these efforts position Centenary to address regional workforce needs, create new academic pathways, and preserve an iconic campus building for generations to come,” said Christopher Holoman, college president.
