CONSTRUCTING A NEW CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT
During 2003-2004, NJIT completed the first phase of its $83.5 million construction program, with the
opening of the East Building, housing the Albert Dorman Honors College, the Department of Biomedical
Engineering, and administrative offices, as well as the first phase of the New Campus Center.
The piazza between the East Building and the Campus Center
has become a popular warm-weather meeting place.
Expanded facilities for the Albert Dorman Honors College are
house in the East Building.
A gleaming new cafeteria with a high-tech design scheme is
one of the most popular amenities in the new center.
The new center houses improved venues for student activities,
such as WJTB, NJIT’s student-run radio station.
ATHLETIC ENHANCEMENTS
Under new Coach Pedro Lopes, NJIT’s men’s soccer team is
preparing for full Division I status in fall 2005. They will kick off
the 2004 season with a newly refurbished field featuring
professional grade artificial grass and a schedule of Division I
competition.
Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium in Newark became the new
home field for NJIT’s baseball team under an agreement with
the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League of Professional
Baseball.
KEEPING UP APPEARANCES
Despite the temporary obstacles created by the construction
program, students manage to find a place on campus for a little
fun.
Landscaping was a high priority for the ad hoc committee on
campus appearance convened by President Altenkirch last
year.
