Timeline for work: June/August
Campus Lighting . . . view details
At the request of students, a night lighting audit has indicated some additional lighting to be installed. Also a new campus lighting design will debut at the newly-created entrance greenspace. This will be the pattern for future lighting.

In addition to repaving the asphalt sections of the entrance road, the curbing is being modified to expand the greenspace at the entrance, removing several parking places crowding the roadway. Landscaping and ornamental post-and-chain will give the area a refined, classy appearance.

Lounge, Commuter . . . view details
Summary: Student Life has placed the creation of a new lounge for the nearly 200 commuter students as a high priority. Space will be transformed from a current storeroom (interesting history – it once was used for, of all things, a student lounge!) into a pleasant and functional space for commuter students to have a separate area. It will be in the Crown Center, the heart of campus.
Timeline for work: June/July

Timeline for work: June/July
