The hammering and pounding vjGr annoying to some, but it v ent along v ith Campus Construction Hood College under- went some massive construction. During, the summer, Smith Hall and Coblentz Memorial Hall were rewired, but the most construc- tion was in Coblentz Hall. The major portion of the ren- ovation centered on the base- ment of Coblentz. The entire basement and surrounding ground area were ripped out. Once completed, the basement will tout a new and expanded Campus Club with an outside patio for outdoor eating. The new Campus Club will have a larger kitchen to serve a more varied selection of food to a greater number of people. Another major project is the construction of a new entrance to Coblentz. An elevator will be built on the front for better access for the disabled, as well as a new stairwell leading to the upper stories. A third project includes re- building the food line for better efficiency and service. Other projects include the conversion from hot water to steam for the dorm heaters, new radiators, and the move of the laundry room to the third floor. Coblentz residents were in- convenienced by the construc- tion. Workers had to work around the students, slowing the completion, which was es- timated by Joseph Pastore, vice president for administration and finance, to be in late Fall 1989. Noise was a big complaint, with construction starting at 7 a.m. With patience and understand- ing, the Hood community will be able to use a new and im- proved Campus Club and kit- chen. — Kim Adams and Jenni- fer Levy.
