Growth spurt

Westlake Hall is more than 110 years old, but this summer it’s undergoing a tremendous growth spurt. Bradley’s second-oldest academic mainstay is expanding and evolving into a state of the art learning center, with progress visible day by day.

Workers are currently applying limestone to the building’s north side and will begin laying the roof in the next week and a half. Despite another rainy summer, the project is right on schedule.

In fact, when students return to campus in late August, Westlake Hall will look nearly complete - at least from the outside. Assistant Project Manager for Construction Jesse Staley said the structure will be fully closed in by the time classes begin.
