To the relief of some students and the chagrin of others, the beginning of the school year brought new chain restaurants onto campus as Brough Commons was upgraded to host a Starbucks, Quiznos Subs and Zona Mexicana. These new restaurants were designed to complement the existing cafeteria and the Club Red convenience store. The new attractions were popular among the student body for lounging and relaxing. Outdoor tables and umbrellas made them prime locations for socializing on campus. The atmosphere and the interior design inside the new Starbucks is great, sophomore Brett Williams, an English and history major, said. I ' m a big coffee drinker, so naturally it ' s really a good place to just hang out. Some students were not as pleased with the new attractions. During August and nearly all of September, the dorms around Brough had to endure the construction. Students had to avoid the large vans that carried construction equipment, and also had to steer clear ofthe dirt and sand piles. While the construction was sometimes a pain to bear, the finished product was widely accepted by students. Sometimes the construction would wake me up if I slept too late, but it ' s nice to have new places around campus, freshman John Wall, a biological engineering major, said. On some days, the sidewalks that led to Humphreys ' doors were blocked off and that was pretty annoying, freshman Jacob Hanson said. I was glad when they finally finished working out there and I ' m happy with the restaurants that opened. Those residents were nottheonlyones to be affected from the construction. Caleb Barker, a freshman chemical engineering major, lived in Pomfret. He had to walk by the construction every day to his classes. I didn ' t know what it was for a long time, Barker said. It was annoying to walk byeverydayandeven more annoying driving around on days when their trailers blocked the way. With that being said though, I ' m certainly looking forward to eating at Quiznos. I was tired of having to walk to the Union to get a sub. BROUGH CONSTRUCTION 23
