Ronald Rettner |
Ronald Rettner Hall for Media Arts and Innovation was opened in October 2013. The building is named for new University Trustee and philanthropist Ronald Rettner who provided the lead gift that is enabling the University to begin construction
“This is the first building in the country that integrates engineering, computer science, art, graphic design, and music,” Rettner said during the dedication ceremonies. “It encourages student collaboration. It’s team-oriented—students working and learning together and from each other.” The new building also houses two of the University’s newest majors, digital media studies and audio and music engineering.
The building connects to the back of Morey Hall and included a long-awaited new elevator that serves all floors in both buildings.
