Norris Hall will reopen in two weeks, the university announced today. The building will be dedicated to offices and laboratories for the engineering science and mechanics department and the civil and environmental engineering department. Those two departments were the primary occupants of the 70,000-square-foot building before April 16.

Norris Hall accounted for about 5 percent of classroom space on the campus before the shootings but will not be used for classes in the future.
