Very interesting, thanks for sharing. So many fascinating things to study in church history, and so many helpful applications for today from the lessons learned!

I think the website is just barely underway. I'm sure there's lots more to be added over time.

Very interesting. Perhaps they can some how mention which city it's in. I think Kansas city?
Maybe a picture of spurgeon discussing 'a treasury of David' with a student at the college? or walking around Kansas?
I think it's a good initial website

I don't see what is wrong with the website at all!!

It wouldn't make a bad start for a powerpoint presentation, but it really falls short as a web site.
As someone else pointed out, it's missing the 'Where'.
As to the online project, they are missing the 'When' it will be at least partially available.
As to the lecture series, they invite you, but they don't tell you where to go, what you need to do (buy tickets? make a reservation? show up if you have the secret password to get in?
At least in my browser, the individual slides are not the same size. Most show the button to slide to the right for the next slide, but the 'Lectures' and 'Scholarship' slides are several inches wider, and I need to scroll to the right to see the arrow that needs to be clicked.
On the vision page, click and 'Dr. Allen Explains'. You may know who he is. They know who he is. I'm one of the billions of folks in the world who have no idea who he is.
Is the library on the seminary campus? Will hours or access be restricted during the renovation project? If someone wants to access material before it is available online, who would they contact? How would they contact them.
Are they interested in contributions for any of the projects? It appears not. Not only are they not soliciting contributions, there is no contact information if someone wanted to give.
Have questions? Again no address, phone number, email contact information.
I don't particularly care for the whole design concept, but it apparently appeals to a younger crowd, so I may not be their demographic.

Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary just started the Spurgeon Center for Pastoral Leadership and Preaching. However, judging by the content of the site, they only appear to be using Spurgeon's name for what is essentially a broadly evangelical pastoral training program. Not something I'd necessarily recommend with so many solidly confessional resources out there.
