Construction workers put the finishing touches on the new Elliot School of International Affairs Wednesday, buffing out scratches in the shiny marble floors of the $72 million building. While students moved into the residence hall in the E Street complex in August, construction complications pushed back the opening of classrooms and offices until after spring […]
