Dodging construction cites this year has been a common oc- curance as buildings and renovations dotted the campus. By far the most eye-catching constuctlon work was taking place on the ren- ovation of Barnard Observatory, located near sorority row. in the place where the old Chancellor ' s house once stood. The buldling was thoroughly sanded down and washed, stripped and repainted over the course of the year. Work on this $2.5 million restoration began in early fall and it is projected that the building will be ready for occupation by the fall. The building will house the Center for the Study of Southern Culture Another much needed and anticipated addition to campus is the building of a new Student Health Service building. The new build- ing Is located behind Meek Hall and will house offices for several university physicians and will include an in-house pharmacy. The larger, more modern building will allow the health service to ex- pand and provide students with a variety of services. Completion of the building is projected for early summer. One project that recently received funding is the Natural Products center, which will be located between Coulter and Faser Halls. The project is a several million dollar undertaking and will allow phar- macy students to pursue their studies in a much advanced en- volrnment. The Natural Products center will not be completed for several years. It will be the only one of Its kind In the southern United States. Natural Products Center Ed Brondyke Groundbreaking cermonles for the Natural Products Center, which will be located between Coulter and Faser Halls took place last fall. This multl-mllUon dollar center will substantially enhance the knowledge and research capabilities of the Ole Miss School of Phar- macy. Although the center will not be completed for several years, architects have made plans for the building and preliminary work will begin in the Fall. Ole Miss will have technological research capablUtes when this federal and state funded center Is completed. Pictured above are groundbreaking ceremonies that took place at the cite in Fall 1990. n v» t - ; ' y;-sf-air ..V ' ■ )t.m;Tr ifi 24 — Student Life iuiiai mmmmk
