Abstract/ Summary

Crossland Hall will be removed in 2026 as part of UMaine's long-term north campus infrastructure improvement strategy and our commitment to providing students, faculty, staff, and community partners with spaces that elevate academic and research excellence. The 11,200-square-foot building in which UMaine's Franco-American Centre has been housed faces $10 million in deferred maintenance and unfunded modernization needs. Due to the extensive cost of renovations and modernization, along with the building's overall condition. the university has deemed Crossland unsuitable for renovation. Rather than invest significant resources into this aged and inaccessible facility, UMaine will provide the Centre with a more modern. renovated space by relocating it to a new and improved home. This new space will reinforce the UMaine's longstanding commitment to supporting Franco-American programs and honor the legacy and ongoing contributions of Franco-Americans to the state of Maine.
