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.

Previous Next Previous Next M Body Copy Everyday at the University of Florida is an exhilarating one. However, there are some days that are more exciting and eventful than others in our lives as Florida Gators. February 24, 2006 was one of those days. Diana, my partner in crime, and I set out from our humble office in the Reit2 Union on a trek to take pictures of as many campus happenings as possible, and boy did we find some interesting ones. Our first encounter was with the brothers of Zeta Beta Tau. They had spent the week rolling a giant beach ball around campus asking people to put their John Hancock on it. Each signature was worth a donation to the Children's Miracle Network. As we made it over to the North Lawn we saw that the Inter Residence Hall Association was having a kick off carnival for IRHA Week. We munched on the free hot dogs they were giving out and tried to win a prize by tossing some ping pong balls in a cup. Our luck failed us and we moved on to the next part of campus. As we made it to Turlington Plaza we noticed that a weekly Friday ritual was already underway. Students gather every Friday to play box ball amidst the tables, as we ducked out of the way of a wayward kickball we saw that the Student Government campaigning season was in full swing. Elections were to take place the following Tuesday and Wednesday and members of the Swamp Party, Unite Party and the Susan for Treasurer Campaign were courting student votes.
