Endazhi-gikinoo’amaading Education Building
Originally requested as a portion of a new Social Science Building the School of Business and Economics was housed here until the completion of the Labovitz School of Business & Economics in 2008. The Education Department was then moved to this location after renovations in 2009 and the building was renamed Endazhi-gikinoo’amaading, meaning ‘The place of teaching and learning together’ in the Native Ojibwe Language.

Bohannon Hall
Originally built in 1961, Bohannon Hall has been extensively updated, most recently in 2002. New heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems will increase comfort along with increasing energy efficiency. The heating system was changed from a steam system to a hot water/glycol system, which provides a more consistent and efficient system. This prevents overheated or underheated areas.
The hallways and concourses of Bohannon hall were also upgraded during the 2002 renovation. Old asbestos tile was removed and abated and new long-lasting floor materials were installed.
