The College will begin moving its offices from Garrett Hall to Monroe Hall today to allow the Batten School to move into the vacant offices in the summer of 2011, Batten School Dean Harry Harding said.
Because of this change, the affected College offices will be closed until Oct. 6, and most personnel will be unavailable by phone or e-mail during this time, according to an e-mail sent to College students.
The Batten School has outgrown its current offices and is in need of more spacious offices, Harding said.
"We have very good space in Varsity Hall, but it's always been seen as temporary," Harding said. "We need a permanent home that has enough space to accommodate the growth of the school in all its dimensions."
Before that move occurs, though, Garrett Hall will be renovated. At this stage, about 50 percent of the details needed to begin the renovations have been completed, Harding said.
"There's not much [specifically planned] at this stage," Harding said.
