Trine University to expand Best Hall

Trine University in Angola is planning to expand the Best Hall of Science, adding 26,000 square feet, seven new labs, 12 new offices and space for group studies. The upgrade comes from a $1.5 million estate gift from Dr. James Rinker, and the new addition will be named the Rinker-Ross Memorial Center for the Sciences. Coming first are 140 new parking spaces, which should be ready by May first. Then construction begins in May and the new building should be open for use by January of next year.
