TETC - Teacher Education & Technology Center
SALISBURY, MD---How much steel does it take to build the
framework of Salisbury University’s new Teacher Education and
Technology Center? Would you believe 310 elephants’ worth? The 1,550 tons of steel used to erect the building is equal to
the average mass of 310 pachyderms. Once completed, the building
also will feature more than 250,000 pounds of recycled materials
(the equivalent of over 7.5 million soda cans) and some 532,073
bricks (about 67 miles’ worth laid end-to-end, enough to stretch
into outer space). Click
here for more fun facts about the new Teacher Education and Technology Center.
 Lauded as a showcase building for education in the
mid-Atlantic region, the new structure will be open in
fall 2008. Architectural renderings of the completed
construction are available at
