Changes at ISU

Work has been lots of fun. Typical representation of Illinois. Everywhere you look, there is construction. The first set of pictures is actually construction I don't mind. :) The first one is my new office. The view with the fencing and trees, is one of the entrances to our new space in Vrooman Hall, in Hewitt and Manchester Halls, which are residence halls on campus. We will be located on the "garden level"/basement. The one picture is the large stairwell that will bring us natural light. It will be a nice area once it is done. We are moving December 4th, if all stays on schedule.

The other pictures are of what remains of Walker Hall, a former residence hall. For those of you familiar with ISU, yes, that is Hamilton/Witt you see from the street that is front of Fairchild Hall. Dunn/Barton and Walker have been demolished to make way to the brand new Rec Center that will actually be located on campus!! It have been weird to see the buildings that you normally could not see due to those buildings being there.

Of course, the construction does not end there. There is a new parking deck being build where the old tennis courts are. They just started working on those this week. It's fun trying to drive around campus. Ugh.
