Rolling out the green carpet

scene

In early May, as renovations to the subterranean Cross Campus Library continued, Cross Campus was a bustling construction zone hidden from view by a high plywood fence. Sidewalk superintendents found it hard to believe that graduates would be able to assemble there for the commencement procession on May 28. But in a matter of days, a new lawn was rolled out, the fence and equipment disappeared, and the quad was nearly back to normal. (For aerial proof, see page 55.) All is now verdant and serene above ground, but workers are busy beneath, trying to complete the interior renovations on time for the fall semester.
