Construction Update
Following is an update on SMU construction projects, including a new basketball center and a new facility and renovations for Perkins School of Theology. Please observe warning and directional signs when driving or walking in construction areas. University Park construction projects sometimes affect traffic patterns near the campus and updates on those projects are available from the city's website.
The New Caruth Hall
Groundbreaking for the new Caruth Hall on the southeast corner of Dyer Street and Ownby Drive will be held on May 9. The new building is being constructed on the site of the current Caruth Hall.
Demolition of the current Caruth Hall, which has served as the home of SMU's School of Engineering since 1948, will begin in summer 2008 and the new building is expected to be ready for occupancy in spring 2010.
The new four-story, 65,000-square-foot facility will house classrooms, offices and the Caruth Institute for Engineering Education. It also will include an outdoor amphitheater. The new building and institute were made possible by a gift from The W.W. Caruth Foundation at Communities Foundation of Texas. Read more.
The Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development Building
Construction of the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development Building is expected to begin in February 2009 and be completed by summer 2010. The 35,000-square-foot facility, made possible by a gift from Harold C. and Annette C. Simmons, will be built on the southwest corner of Airline Drive and University Boulevard. It will include classrooms and offices for the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development. Read more.

The building will house facilities for education and community uses, including a 2,200-square-foot Great Hall for public events, a Refectory for dining services, a student computer lab, Preaching Lab, classrooms, seminar rooms, and two lecture halls.
