Counseling Education Training Center Building Razed
The old building housing the College of Education's Counseling Education Training Center (CETC) on McDowell Street was razed Wednesday, August 29. The cost of renovating the structure was too prohibitive, says Kathy Hamrick, special assistant to the president for architectural and master planning. "Eventually, a new building will be constructed on the site, which will reflect the style of the surrounding neighborhood," says Dr. Hamrick. Until then, she noted, it will be beautifully landscaped. CETC will move into the former psychology lab building, located next to the Central Energies Plant, following its renovation. Currently, it is housed at Safe Homes in Augusta.
