Lenoir renovations may be finished, but other campus construction still lingers and continues to disrupt campus life. Walking across campus is not as easy as it used to be, as more buildings and walkways have come under construction.
Many renovations are past due, but others just cause more trouble than they are worth.
After being inconvenienced by the renovations, some students may never benefit from them because the repairs will not be finished until after they graduate. Despite the many problems construction causes, construction is a necessary evil. UNC-CH must continue to modernize the campus to keep up with other universities nationwide. Constructing the McColl building for the Business School and renovating Carroll Hall for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication help keep these programs among the top in the country. Often when state and University officials decide when and where renovations should take place, they don't take into consideration those who will be most affected by the ongoing construction, like students and professors.
