The Olmsted Center expansion, Hubbell Dining Hall renovations and landscaping of Hubbell Field are at the top of Ferrari's list. The Drake Stadium, built in the 1920s, is also sorely in need of repairs. Harvey Ingham Hall's first and second floors were not renovated as the first National Commission suggested, so that is another area of concern. Cowles Library may also be expanded further. The residence halls may also receive some renovations.
Accessibility is still a concern.
Don Adams, executive assistant to the president, has known Ferrari since the two worked in residence life together at Michigan State University. Adams cites the 1995-96 mission statement, which Ferrari helped draft, when talking about Ferrari's commitment to the University. He's a man of deep commitment to quality. And Ferrari looks to be in the thick of things, for now.
