On returning to classes this fall, you may have noticed the new construction in the parking lot at the rear of the campus. Over the summer the rear parking lot itself was enlarged to accommodate 379 vehicles, and an extra walkway runs from the parking lot to the main buildings. Cosmetic and safety improvements, such as landscaping and light posts, are a work in progress and are to be accomplished during weekends to avoid any inconvenience to students.
Additionally, crews will be working daily in the north east corner of the rear parking lot, which has been designated for the new Veterinary Technology Building. Work has already begun, and the area has been fenced off.
In the interest of safety, students are asked to avoid the area and take extra care, as concrete trucks and other construction traffic will be using the north entrance.
The new building is scheduled to be ready for classes in the fall of 2005.
