Campus changes with Century II When Creighton students departed at the close of I980 ' s Spring semester, they left knowing that the men in grimy clothes with their noisy metal monsters were up to something. When they returned in the fall of 1980, they discovered a campus that had metamorphosed over the summer. Trees had sprouted on the Kiewit Center ' s lawn, wooden benches were situated in convenient spots and the East Quad looked as if giant moles were making the ground swell as they burrowed underneath. Also in the East Quad was a circular plaza north of Degleman Hall, and in front of the Administration Building a very colorful assemblage of flora-just planted but taking hold-caught admiring glances from passing students. The new construction, although it caused disrup- tion over the summer, gave the campus a welcome facelift. The project cost the university approximate- ly $200,000, and will continue to grow as part of the Challenge for Century II Program for 1980-85. At left, St. John ' s towers above the construction rubble. Above, a different perspective from one of the mall ' s benches.
