The MSC

In a rare blog entry not devoted to Cade, I wanted to update all you Aggies out there on the construction the MSC. The entire building is closed off, and the renovations officially began last week. The street in front of the MSC is also closed, making traffic a real treat in front of the G. Rollie White building :)

The gym floor of G. Rollie has been transformed into the MSC bookstore for at least the next 3 years. Hopefully the renovations will finish in this timeframe so that all students will be able to use the MSC at some point in their college careers. Having the bookstore in our building is pretty hectic, but watching the overwhelmed parents and freshmen sure provides some comic relief for us!

The lighting in these pictures isn't the greatest, but they at least give some idea of the transformation from a gym to a bookstore. I think the staff did a really great job organizing everything and making it look like a real bookstore. To hopefully deter thefts, a lovely black chain link fence has been raised all around the 2nd floor of G. Rollie to close in the bookstore. We are all a little curious about where we are supposed to hold our outdoor classes when it rains since the gym is obviously occupied. However, we are in the middle of a drought, so this may never be an issue!
