When UNLV students return to Frank and Estella Beam Hall for classes in two weeks, nothing should look too different from last December — before the building was closed after a shooting spree that resulted in the death of three professors and left another severely wounded.
When UNLV students return to Frank and Estella Beam Hall for classes in two weeks, nothing should look too different from last December — before the building was closed after a shooting spree that resulted in the death of three professors and left another severely wounded.
Frank and Estella Beam Hall at UNLV appears to look the same. Look closely, however, and you’ll notice the differences. About eight months after an active shooter on Dec. 6, 2023, killed three professors and wounded another in Beam Hall, the building is reopening for UNLV’s fall semester with $38 million in enhanced safety measures.
The fall semester here at UNLV begins on Aug. 26. That will be the first time students will be returning to Beam Hall. It's been closed since the shooting on Dec. 6, and staff has been working hard to make sure students and faculty feel safe.
Anyone entering UNLV’s Beam Hall will not notice any evidence of the deadly shooting in December 2023. Many damaged doors are repaired, and new security measures may be hard to spot. UNLV officials say keeping Beam Hall like it was before the shooting was intentional.
Beam Hall is the home of the Lee Business School at UNLV. It has several classrooms and faculty offices inside. This is where a deadly shooting happened on December 6, 2023, that left three dead and one wounded.
