When will it end?
The construction on front campus will hopefully come to an end at the beginning of the fall 2004 semester. This is the last of the three phases in the reconstruction of MSU said Mitch Clark, director of university relations.
“The first phase was to reconstruct the front of the building facing Clarke Street. The second phase was to reconstruct the side near Chick-fil-a facing Hancock Street by adding a new dining room and making the outside look like the entrance on Clarke Street. The third phase is expanding the patio area between Chick-fil-A and the Pit by moving it closer to Parks Hall and expanding the bookstore, adding large windows to the front, making a new entrance and making the outside look like the others,” said Clark.
The new bookstore will have a “Barnes & Noble” feel with an expanded book section, a larger clothing area, a wider selection of snacks, comfortable seating and a study lounge area.?
