Expanding our footprint: Renovations set to begin

Make way for progress.

The College of Criminology and Criminal Justice is set to begin renovations of the Kellogg Building this summer in a move that will expand the college by more than 50,000 square feet.

Renovation and construction are expected to take two years. Once completed, the comprehensive renovation will modernize classrooms, offices, collaborative workspaces, and student gathering areas while enhancing the building’s aesthetic to be aligned with the collegiate gothic architectural style found across campus.

The four-story Kellogg Building was built in 1965 to house the Department of Psychology. Its brick façade features no windows and three elevated bridges connecting to the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice. The updated design includes windows and construction of a floor-to-roof atrium which will enclose the space between the two buildings.

In addition to new classrooms, offices and common areas the building will also be home to a museum honoring the Seminole Tribe of Florida's contribution to law enforcement. The Center for Criminology and Public Policy Research will also be housed in the new space.
