Construction is underway at Carmen D. and James R. Campbell Hall, the new home for the Institute of Child Development (ICD). A groundbreaking ceremony took place Friday, June 25. Lead donors, Carmen and James Campbell, were in attendance, as were former Dean Jean Quam, current Dean Michael C. Rodriguez, Department Chair and ICD Director Kathleen Thomas, former chair and ICD director Professor Megan Gunnar, other CEHD representatives, and special guests.

The project is a much-needed upgrade to the ICD facilities. The new 77,415-square-foot space will include instructional classrooms, research suites for faculty, observational/behavioral testing rooms, shielded electrophysiology rooms, an MRI simulation space, a graduate/post doc collaboration space, and ICD administrative/faculty support space.
