The Times Are a Changing


             Just as the weather has started changing, so have things around campus. Things are getting fixed or built, and campus will look quite different when everyone returns in the fall. Here’s an update on renovations happening on campus.
 
Showalter Fountain is being repaved. The cement circling the fountain is being removed and replaced.

The first half of the Briscoe Quad renovation is nearly complete. The newly done Shoemaker (west) tower will re-open next year, while the Gucker (east) tower will close down to undergo similar renovations. You can see a 3-D representation of the new building here (http://www.rps.indiana.edu/briscoevid.cfml).
 
The Jacobs School of Music just held its groundbreaking ceremony for its newest building. Located on the corner of 3rd & Jordan where the West University Apartments used to stand, a new building containing practice rooms and teacher studios will be added. Also included in the project is an extension onto the backside of the MAC, adding another large rehearsal room and an audio control room. You can read more about the project here (http://info.music.indiana.edu/news/page/normal/17875.html).
 
Finally, the HPER building is being refurbished this summer. The roof of the upper basketball courts (room 293) is being replaced!

Keep a look out for the changes next fall!
