Construction Continues Around Campus

By Jody Record, Campus Journal Editor

Construction continues at the corner of Main Street and College Road where the driveway for Nesmith Hall is being moved to College Road. New sidewalks and cross walks are also being done in the area.

Other work in progress includes removing old walkways, installing new drainage along new sections of the roadway, installing new curbing and starting to install the electrical conduits to new light pole locations

By July 7, workers will finish removing all the walkway sections which are to be moved and continue the prep work needed before the new ones can be put down.

Meanwhile, Fairchild is completely fenced in and renovations to the Main Street dorm are set to begin.

And the gravel area below is where Pettee House once stood. The former housing office was demolished earlier this month.

There are no immediate plans for the site. In the Campus Master Plan it is a place holder for a new fire station, but there is no schedule or funding at this time.
