Civil, Construction, & Environmental Engineering Department - NC State

❤️ FULL-CIRCLE MOMENT: Less than 10 years after graduating from , alumni Leah Hart ’20 and Logan Herman ’19 are back on campus to renovate a building that holds many memories for them.

In the summer of 2025, a major renovation began at Mann Hall. The building served as CCEE's home before the department transitioned to Fitts-Woolard Hall in 2020.

Now with Holder Construction, Leah and Logan are helping transform their former classroom building into a premier learning space for future engineering students. 👷

Great story highlighting alum Vance Wrenn! 👏🐺
