The new Social Sciences building at Kennesaw State University was officially dedicated on November 13, 2007 in a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by College and University Administrators, State Senators, community members, and representatives from the companies involved in the construction of the building. Welcoming speeches were given by Dr. Lendley Black, Dr. Wes Wicker, and the College's dean, Dr. Richard Vengroff. The guest speaker was Mr. Ray Anderson, who was recently selected by Time magazine as an international hero for environmental issues. He touched on the life of David Brower, the environmentalist depicted on the sculpture in front of the new building. Dean Vengroff and Dr. Black focused on what this building means to KSU and thanked all the men and women who helped bring the building to fruition.

Some highlights of the new environmentally friendly Social Sciences Building are its LEED Silver certification, 38 high-tech classrooms, a 300-seat auditorium, five research centers, five project centers, 120 faculty and department offices, and a café in the lobby.
