Several departments switched buildings over the summer in an effort to make campus more efficient.

“What was acceptable 20 years ago isn’t acceptable today,” said Jeffrey Cass, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “The departmental moves were done in the interest of the students.”

The Airways and Computer Science Building, commonly known as Airway, changed its name to Hemphill Hall to better fit its new resident, the College of Business.

With the college of business now in Hemphill Hall, the math department  moved to the Administration Building.

Cass said English and math are both core subjects, and teaching them in the same building will make things easier on students.

Kinesiology has moved to Brown Hall because of sewage problems in its old location.

Freshman, pre-nursing major Tamia Smith of Slidell said that although this is her first year, she is excited that the faculty of the university is making changes that will benefit the students.

“It’s already a long walk from Masur to Admin, so I enjoy not having to go to another building for my next class,” said Smith.

Cass said more changes could come in the future.
