Howard University president Wayne Frederick said: “For the first time since 1984, Howard is constructing new academic buildings. These projects represent the University’s evolving and innovative academic offerings.

“The approach to housing more than one discipline under one roof is to encourage greater breadth and depth of exposures, and to create inroads to strengthen the intersections between various fields of study.”

The future facility will come up on the upper quadrangle’s northern end, behind Childers Hall.

This location will allow better event synchronisation and other major event venues will be clustered on the campus’ northern end.
