            A new Education Building, located at 945 Fourth Street in Portsmouth, has become part of the Shawnee State University Campus.
            All education and sign language classes will be held at this new location that will be identified on the course schedule as “EDU,” beginning Monday, Aug. 16. The Teacher Education faculty offices will also be located in this building later in the semester. Until then, faculty offices will be located in Massie 227 office suite.
            “This new academic building will help us accommodate our continued growth,” President Rita Rice Morris said. “This fall, we will see another record year for enrollment. Our need for more classroom space is growing. The new Education Building will help us meet our immediate needs.”
            More than 4,500 students are enrolled for this fall semester and a growing number of these students have chosen Teacher Education as their field of study.
            On Monday, as classes begin, students need to look for directional signs leading them to the new location.
            “We are excited about this academic building as it is a sign of our continuing growth at Shawnee State University,” said Paul Madden, chair, Department of Teacher Education.
