Many college campuses assume a sleepy, ghost town-like appearance during the summer months.
The scene at Holy Cross, however, is quite different. On May 5, students, faculty, alumni, trustees, administrators and friends were on hand as ground was broken for the construction of Carol and Park B. Smith Hall. The new building, which will occupy the geographic center of the campus, abuts both O Kane and Fenwick Halls. Smith Hall will link the lower campus, where academic life prevails, with the upper campus, the location of residence halls and focus of much of the College s social life. The new space will house a library and chapel, faculty and administrative offices, as well as the religion and philosophy departments.
