Several aging buildings across campus are in need of updates, and the main visual identity of the College needs to be enhanced through a new main entrance. To meet the expectations of students entering college today, classrooms must be technologically advanced and housing facilities must be improved. King's history is deeply rooted in its buildings across campus, some of which were constructed more than 80 years ago. These historic buildings are in need of updates and mechanical repairs. These upgrades range from new computers and supporting equipment to new furniture, plumbing and air conditioning.
First impressions are important.
At King College, the main campus entry gives that all-important first impression to campus visitors. While the current campus entries will still be maintained, campus planners have redesigned and configured a new main entry to be located at the intersection of King College Road and Spruce Street. Plans call for the new main gate to be constructed of brick and wrought iron-type fencing. This project also includes the addition of attractive landscaping. New signage and lighting will transform this area into a dynamic welcoming entrance.
