I have been in the new halls as my daughter lives in one. I think our dorms are now helpful in recruiting students whereas they were a turnoff in the past.

Another feature of the Plaza. I would assume a sitting area or some sort of monument.

Looking back to Martin Hall, The circular sidewalk is where the old side walk had a circle with a pine tree at the center.

Will. Vermillion hall and the other building next to it be renovated as well. Those are two of the saddest looking building I have seen on a major university. They can really do a lot with that location with it next to the swamp.
I might have got the name wrong, conplete opposite side of the union that was just demolished. If union is 12 o clock then this building is 6 o clock
