The largest academic building at Washburn was built to last. With a major renovation in the works, it will last even longer, with reconfigured spaces and the ability to better meet students’ needs.

Henderson Learning Resources Center opened in 1971 after the 1966 tornado destroyed much of campus. The four-story, solid stone building sits on a hillside and met the teaching needs of the time.

“I think every finish in the building will get touched in some form or fashion,” Sollars said.

“When it’s done, faculty and students will want to be there and will want to hang out and engage. Students will feel inspired by the environment they are learning in, in addition to what they are learning,” Erby said.
