 Previous Next photo by: Leslie itega Previous Next photo try: Gnthia Sandoval Body Copy UF's campus is one of the most picturesque in the country. It is often called the Harvard of the south because of it's old-fashioned brick buildings. The alma mater gives a description of UF as students and alumni alike sing the words ‘shine forth thine noble gothic walls, thy lovely vine clad halls. Over the years the campus has undergone a variety of changes to become the place that Gators have come to know and love today. The 2005-2006 school year has been no exception. Dorms along University Avenue received a make over. The main attraction was the fact that dorms that previously had no air conditioning received units to cool them off. The main change that UF saw this year was the near completion of Library west. The project, which began in December 2003, was originally scheduled to open by January 2006. However the addition to the buildint took longer than expected, and the new and improved Library West is now scheduled to open sometime in the early summer of 2006 once all the books have been returned to the shelves. The renovations saw a 60,000 square foot addition to the building. The addition added a facade to the north side of the building giving it large picture windows and a fresh look to the south entrance. These changes should allow for more storage space as the UF library system accommodates more than 4 million books. -Leslie Veiga Back to Album Previous Next The prehistoric rock m Turlington Plata, affectionately known as the potato, is a pnme Spot for student demonstrations.
