By Sterling Gray Asst. News Editor A big machine was all it took. A few pushes from the demolition equipment and the building fell. There were no explosions, no fireworks or even a decent eulogy. The Facilities building was vanquished.Although its demise on Sept. 28 was unspectacular, the demolition of the Facilities department's former home will likely have plenty of effect. The department has been squeezed into a few small buildings for several years. Lacking the space for their growing needs, the facility was not compatible with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Center for Engaged Learning was founded in 2007 under the leadership of Jack Christensen and Vince Fordiani. They helped develop the early programs. According to Birch, some reorganization will take place to reach out more and to make the center more integrated with the academic life of students. Birch has been teaching .at this BIRCH A5
