This year ' s returning students had a surprise waiting for them when they arrived at JiVlU. Changes were spotted in almost every area of campus. In the Bluestone area, Wampler Hall was in the process of becoming a new residence hall; on main campus, Carrier Library was expanding; and the Warren Cam- pus Center had a new addition completed, Taylor Hall. With the addition of Wampler Hall, residents no longer had to hike to Wine Price to get to their dorms. Robin Underwood, junior, stated that Wampler Hall gave the appearance of a more connected JMU cam- pus. Wampler Hall was in the Bluestone area with the other Bluestone residence halls. While Wampler Hall was in its stages of completion. Carrier Library also began it ' s metamorphosis. A new floor was being added to the two story building. According to Usha Koduru, junior, the construction noise right now makes it hard to find a quiet place to study. Although Carrier Library just began it ' s changes, Taylor Hall finally was com- pleted. This summer, the construction of Taylor Hall probably did not make a good first impression on prospective students, remarked Koduru, but now that it is completed the campus is slowly improving. Taylor Hall created more room for organizations to have their meetings. Underwood stated, I am impressed. So many organizations needed the space and are now given the facilities. Of all the changes occuring around campus, all appeared to receive positive feed- back from students as JMU continued to grow it continued to improve. -Jennie Kucinskis 22 Campus Changes
