SAN DIEGO-The lecture halls at San Diego State University are getting a facelift, thanks to general contractor C.W. Driver, which has begun construction on a $73-million, 100,000-square-foot renovation and 30,000-square-foot expansion project for the existing Storm and Nasatir building complex at SDSU. The complex will offer program space for eight academic departments including anthropology, geography and foreign languages, among others. Completion is anticipated for January 2015.

Designed by LPA Inc. to achieve LEED Gold certification, the complex will include new and upgraded classroom technologies, academic and research laboratories and faculty offices for the College of Arts and Letters. Construction will be completed to meet current health and safety-code standards and will also incorporate plans to correct deferred maintenance issues and improve water and energy conservation. Additionally, the 30,000-square-foot classroom building will provide new space for the campus’ Language Acquisition Resources Center.
