New SU Academic Commons Building on Track for Fall Semester

Salisbury University Website

The new $117 million Academic Commons on the campus of Salisbury University is rushing towards completion in the fall of next year.

Yesterday school officials offered up a guided tour of the four-story facility with a tall bell tower and will be used to house the university library and the Nabb Research Center.

The 221-thousand square foot structure will be the largest building on campus replacing the old Caruthers Hall along Route 13.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that atop the building will be 32-thousand square feet of green space.
