This article was just published in the Watauga Democrat. I thought you all would find it to be an interesting and informative read: The Watauga Democrat - Picking up the pace: Housing, end zone, 105, Sanford among major campus projects

Wow, that design is much better than the initial, placeholder rendering, though I'm not crazy about the huge columns with "globes" on top. This campus will look so nice and impressive in a few short years. I'll have to relearn my way around!

This is good stuff! Our ability to attract top-tier students, be they student-athletes or not, will be improved by our new facilities. Next year will be a bit of a headache with parking and such. I'll happily endure a little headache for the sake of what will be a much more attractive University. It's the right time for our dorms and other facilities to catch up with our academics and athletics.

I'm sure it has already changed 10 times since that rendering was created.

Excellent post. These amenities are long, long overdue. Our dorms, in particular, have been obstacles (perhaps even deal-breakers) in recruiting high-performing academic students in about every academic department. I look forward to a time in the not-too-distant future when the percentage of high-performers listing App as their first choice (rather than second or third) skyrockets.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Is the new athletic build in final design stage?

Why can't it look exactly like the Appalachian Athletic Center. That is a pretty good looking building. Why does this drawing have odd new design elements of the weird columns with spheres on top? Why not build a normal entrance like the entrance to the AAC?

Why can't architects make things match?
