Several major state-of-the-art facilities were opened in the 2010s, including a $32 million Student Union renovation and addition. Three years later a 70,000-square-foot Computer Science and Technology building opened, providing new space for computer science, information technology, engineering technology, industrial technology, and OSHE programs.
The following year, in 2018, Southeastern would draw even more national attention with the opening of two new residence halls, Ascension and Twelve Oaks, which featured a hybrid geothermal system for heating and cooling—the first of its kind for any university or state building in Louisiana and the second largest site in the country to use such a system.
