A few months into the construction, most students have settled into the new campus layout.
After posting a poll on our Twitter, we found that 85 percent of students enjoy the construction, 11 percent are ambivalent, and 4 percent dislike it.
We asked around campus to get some candid responses to the new roundabout walkways, and this was what we found:
“At first I was a little unsure about it, but now I really enjoy the extra 30 seconds it takes to walk around the PAC Plaza,” said sophomore Kendall Spencer. “Also, the buses just make more sense where they are now— though it is funny, I’ve seen some drivers yell at people for waiting in the old bus line when, really, they were waiting for Burrito King.”
…
“I’m a STEM major, so like, I don’t have any reason to even be on north campus you know?” said a STEM major who wished to remain anonymous. “That’s where all the liberal arts majors and freshman hang out, so I don’t have a problem with the construction. Sometimes I go up there to get Subway when the Atrium one has too big of a line though, and when I do that I enjoy what they’re doing by the MCC. Still don’t really know what that stands for though!”

“I really didn’t like the architecture of the building before the construction, but I already really like what they’re doing with the chained fences,” said senior Robert Morris. “I’m not sure if their gonna keep it like that, but I think it’s pretty tight— I love a school with postmodern architecture.”
