Campus Construction Is Almost Done!

So all current students at the University of Rochester have been pained with the construction going around campus. It has been noisy, annoying, and in the way. Easy shortcuts to class have been cut off for the past 2 months and during the summer. Luckily, O'Brien, the newest dorm building on campus, was completed before the start of school, but other locations have not been so lucky. The area around ITS and the new Warner building have still been under construction all this time. We all have wondered when it all will be done.

The Warner School will be very useful when it is done for those graduate students, and who knows, maybe even the undergraduate students. In that building however, there will be the new Digital Media and Art center, accommodating the newest major, Audio and Music Engineering. This will be an amazing finish once it is complete. 

Well, the week before Meliora Weekend, we got lucky enough to get the construction in front of ITS done. Now that was the most annoying place for construction for me, as I am a student supervisor at Connections, which is located right in that entrance, and I go to Gleason Library almost daily to study and do homework. It was always a huge inconvenience to have to walk all the way through the tunnels. 

We can only wait for the rest of the construction to get finished, but I am excited for it all. Yes it may be a pain now, but this campus will look that much better when it is all done. It doesn't seem possible at first glance since this campus is already gorgeous and optimally built, but we can only wait and see for the outcome. 

The University of Rochester will always have more on its list to build, renovate, and expand with, but that is just the beauty of it. Meliora does translate to "ever better," and even the physical University itself follows that motto. It will always be improving itself and expanding to better accommodate students, faculty, and the amazing city of Rochester in which it resides.
