■ : .. A MULTI-MILLION FACE-LIFT »: LLAR The construction began in the summer and last- ed the year long. Trucks and workmen were all over the campus fixing, building and cleaning. The massive building and campus improvement pro- gram, announced in 1985, began to take form. Brick sidewalks replaced concrete in front of the Administration Building and a new circle drive was completed. Historic lamps light the area, and three flag poles were added. Improvements were made to Woodson Dormitory, Hoke Student Center and Foil House. The latter became a social area and student offices were added in late spring. New athletic fields were built for the soccer, field hock- ey, sofrball and football programs. A new roof was placed on Goodman Gymnasium, and Newton Hall received work on the roof and exterior. Surprisingly, the workers had only begun. The summer brought work on Zartman Hall, now Barger Hall, and a complete renovation was expected by the start of the 1986 fall semester. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in the spring for a new stu- dent center-dining hall complex. Still to come are the Ralph Ketner School of Busi- ness, a large plaza joining the Ketner building with the student center, upgrading of the residence halls and extensive landscape improvements. When completed, the projects are expected to total $15 to $20 million. The trustees launched a huge capital campaign and met with great suc- cess. The sounds of saws and hammers and trucks are sure to extend into the next few years. But no one is complaining. ii
