$4M UM Liberal Arts Building renovation delivers high-tech education

A while back, Dennis Eck stepped into the building at the school he’d graduated from in 1968, according to the UM Foundation. The businessman and philanthropist saw that the classrooms hadn’t changed a bit, so he and his wife, Gretchen, donated $4 million to bring modern technology and a better environment to the cornerstone of liberal arts on campus.

This school year, the College of Humanities and Sciences cut the ribbon on six new technologically advanced classrooms in a building that should be considered a crown jewel at UM. Most students take multiple classes in the LA Building, which houses 30 classrooms that see 600 students in all each semester.
