🔨 Main Building Makeover Underway! 🏫✨
Today marks the beginning of a major flooring upgrade at EAWR! Crews started laying brand-new flooring in the Main Building hallways, and it’s already transforming the space. 👀
✅ Every hallway on the first and second floors is getting this sleek, modern update — just one of several summer projects aimed at improving the student experience.
We’re excited to watch it all come together. Stay tuned for more progress pics!
