Proud to be an alum

September 1, 2008 · Filed Under Blog · Comment 

So I’m an alum of Salisbury University. It’s grown up quite a bit since I went there. The last time I was there I got to see a new building they had just completed. Some fun facts about the innovative TETC Building which houses the Seidel School of Education & Professional Studies and part of the Fulton School of Liberal Arts:

  • Some 607,646 pounds of mortar were used, equaling the weight of 40 school buses!
  • The building includes some 400 windows
  • The 1,550 tons of steel used to construct the TETC weighs about the same as 310 elephants
  • Up to 40% of the building’s structural steel is made from recycled materials!
