During this past week because of the cooler weather and higher frequency of nice days I have been walking around campus more and noticed the amount of construction on campus and how fast it has come along in the past weeks. I have seen the most improvement in the complete redoing of the chem-phys building on rose street. Since we arrived on campus they only had the supports up and as you can see in the picture below now the exterior has major improvements. You may be wondering why this is important and this is because there are less students on campus and walking to class near that area it has allowed the school to not slow the construction of the building during the school year. Plus because they are able to push all the classes inside to online they don't have to worry about doing the construction in segments and not worry about the noise. This can be seen as one of the few positive things about doing online classes this semester.
This picture shows the construction of the chem-phys building on rose street. This construction would normally be halted during the semester because of the heavy foot traffic through the area but because of the coronavirus the construction was allowed to be continued.
This construction can be seen all over campus such as the tearing down of the old dormitory towers and addition being added on to the student center. These. additions being allowed to be done during the semester is one of the few gifts that this virus has given.
