When
the soil testing laboratory was moved to the LaDieu Technology
Center, the former soil testing laboratory was designated the
Distance Education Center. In
response of this building’s new function, a
thorough renovation too include new flooring, fresh paint throughout,
and a new heating and air conditioning system. This renovation was completed in the summer of 1997. The renovation provides office space, video storage,
a production room for copies of video, and support services for
Distance Learning.
