New SOE Facility
The School of Education at the College of William & Mary is in
the process of constructing a new facility. The new facility will house
W&M's nationally-ranked School of Education and will bring all of
its academic programs, outreach centers and research projects together
in a highly professional setting designed to stim
ulate collaboration
and innovation.
Thanks to a generous gift-in-kind from Sentara Healthcare that has allowed the College to acquire 22 acres adjacent to campus, a singular opportunity has presented itself to the Commonwealth of Virginia and private donors. With public and private support, William and Mary is building a facility that will ensure the School continues to give birth to new ideas - fostering the next generation of educational leaders who will serve the Commonwealth and the nation with distinction. The new School of Education facility will improve more than the teaching of teachers and the scholarship and research of education. It will improve the lives of students and their families beyond the School itself.
Delivery
of outreach services, one of the School's most important missions, will
improve in both quality and breadth. The facility will also foster more
professional development for educators near and far. The new School of
Education facility will be an incubator for teaching excellence, for
tackling the complex needs of education today and for promoting
professional development. It will be a facility worthy of one of
society's most important endeavors: education.

This aerial view of the new School of Education building was taken September 11th. On target for completion in May 2010, dry wall and windows help visitors visualize the new building. During the School of Education Day faculty meeting in August, faculty and staff members toured the new facility and discussed how the state-of-the-art facility will enhance opportunities for collaboration and student interaction. |
