Centenary College of Louisiana broke ground on the first phase of the renovation of the historic Mickle Hall Science Building. This first phase includes a new entrance to the building with American with Disabilities Act compliant ramp, as well as demolition of the first and fourth floors of the building. Centenary President Dr. Christopher Holoman, Board of Trustees President Mr. Ross Barrett, and Dean of the School of Health Sciences Dr. Scott Chirhart took up shovels and donned hard hats to mark the event. Built in 1947, Mickle Hall is a cornerstone of the campus. In February, Congress announced that it appropriated $10 million toward the project.
