Andersen Hall Construction Progress

Wednesday, July 13, 2022 - 4:00pm

We’ve had a very noisy summer so far in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Construction continues on the Don and Lorena Meier TV Studio and Newsroom on the second floor in Andersen Hall.

  • Demolition at Andersen Hall
    In June, Midwest Demolition started the transformation of Andersen Hall's second floor becoming the Don and Lorena Meier TV Studio and Newsroom.

    For two weeks the crew tore up offices and other structures on the second floor that are not needed for the studio.

    The following week, Midwest Demolition prepared the concrete in the studio for new flooring. It was a loud process that was heard and even felt on all of Andersen Hall's floors. Fortunately, they wrapped up the flooring process quickly.
