B. ♦ y the time that cadets returned to Lexington this fall, many projects had been accomplished and many more were in the process of being implemented. Among the most notable changes were the addition of a computer cluster in Preston Library, modular furniture on the first stoop of Barracks, and a com- pletely remodeled weight room in Cocke Hall. These projects as well as many others were part of the overall plan to make some badly needed improvements in the physical plant at VMI. Among the plans for the future are the construction of a new science building on Letcher Ave., the renovation of Maury-Brooke hall, and an annex to Cocke Hall that would be built over Route 11. The addi- tion of a new S-2 rank in the Corps struc- ture was also added in order to em- phasize academics among the members of the Corps. All the changes are designed to allow VMI to continue its tradition of being among the top of small four-year colleges. Taking over the area once divided into handball courts, the newly expanded weight room is among the many building projects projected for the athletic facilities at VMI.
