Campus Construction
Continues
Stephanie Patton
News Editor
As students move into residence halls
this semester, the sound of a bulldozer can
be heard throughout campus.
Outside Alumni House, just off College
Avenue, a construction crew works in the
heat, trying to enhance the building.
Not far down that same road, another
crew works through the day in front of
Petty Science Building.
Five renovations are presently underway
across campus. Construction is being done
to Aycock Auditorium, Alumni House,
Brown Music Building, McNutt Building
and Petty Science Building.
With the exception of Alumni House,
where construction started last February,
renovations began in September of 2006.
The work continues almost a year later.
According to Nathan Morris, a senior
theater major, campus construction is
nothing new.
"This is my fifth year at UNCG. Every
year there has been some sort of construc-tion
taking place," he said.
Morris explained that since he has at-tended
the university the Department of
Theater has moved buildings a number of
times. However, despite the construction,
Morris said he keeps a positive view.
"I don't think it takes away focus from
education," he explained. "I just like to
think there are legitimate reasons for the
renovations."
According to the UNCG Facilities De-sign
and Construction website the reasons
are legitimate and necessary, entailing re-placement
of plumbing, electrical and me-chanical
systems, among other things, in
most of the buildings.
Some repairs, like those of McNutt
Building, are needed in order to meet
building code and American with Dis-abilities
Act requirements.
Other renovations, namely those to Ay-cock
Auditorium, simply include modern-ization.
The auditorium's upgrades are to
include "new seating, better sight lines, an
orchestra pit, and a much needed expan-sion
of the back of the house," according
to the website.
Major renovations have been under-way
since 1984, when what the university
termed its first "Master Plan" went into ef-fect
The plan was updated in 2001 and is
to be updated again in the near future.
In addition to the renovations to the
different academic buildings, there is con-struction
underway to roads. Gray Drive
at Ragsdale-Mendenhall Dorm is to be re-paved
soon, possibly causing one-way or
closed traffic in the area.
Students shouldkeep these construction
alertsin mindwhen drivingthrough cam-pus.
