Director Kelly Garrett announced in fall 2023 that The Lantern would be relocating to a new and expanded newsroom on the first floor of the Journalism Building. Renovations are currently underway and the space is set to open during the 2024-2025 academic year.
Contractors have done most of the work to install the frames for the new newsroom walls, and the power conduits. With construction slated to end in January, the new space should be ready for students and staff by the beginning of next school year. The new newsroom will be greatly expanded and will feature new video and podcast studios, along with a more traditional broadcast television news studio that will serve as a classroom, plus a computer lab for video editing.
