Construction continues to plague campus

Atwood is currently receiving a $5 million facelift set to be completed June 2004.
Three construction projects including an addition to Atwood Memorial Center, the football stadium and the addition of a utility tunnel seem to be going as expected. All of the projects which began this spring are in different stages of completion, ranging from near completion to a mere start.
The stadium is a multi-purpose athletic stadium and student recreation center located on the east side of Halenbeck Hall. The new stadium will be used for football, hockey and other sports, and will replace historic Selke Field.
The other large construction project on campus includes a 200,000 square foot addition to Atwood Memorial Center. Atwood construction includes an expanded service area for students, a new conference center with capacity for 300 and an adjacent catering kitchen. The third project, which will be completed Monday, is a utility tunnel that connects the Performing Arts Center, Hill-Case and the Miller Center which will house fiber optic cable and electrical wires.
Funding for the three projects comes from a $16 million bond issue approved by students in 2001. The bond will be repaid with increased student user fees. Completion dates for the Atwood and stadium projects couldn't be confirmed, however, great progress has already been made.
