Construction season has spurred progress on two new projects on opposite sides of campus. (Top) Excavation continues north of Howe Hall on the Biorenewables Complex second phase -- two wings and an atrium that will hug the existing Biorenewables Research Laboratory (left edge of the photo), and be the new home of the agricultural and biosystems engineering department. Phase 2 should be ready for use just prior to fall semester 2014. Access to the BRL is from the east and northwest doors for the duration of the project.
On the east side of campus between Horticulture and Agronomy halls, footings and foundation walls are being poured (bottom) for Troxel Hall, a 400-seat teaching auditorium that will hold state-of-the-art classroom technology. Troxel Hall is scheduled for completion next April. Photos by Bob Elbert.
