-Brockman Hall for Physics: Brockman Hall, which will house the Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments, is planned to be completed in January 2011, project manager Erik Knezevich said. Currently, the site is little more than fences and holes in the ground, but visible work will pick up starting this summer, Knezevich said. Throughout the next academic year, all efforts will be made to ensure that construction does not interfere with events at nearby Hamman Hall, Glenn said. Currently, utility lines are being relocated to make room for construction.

-Over the summer, a pedestrian path will be paved connecting the new BRC to the south corner of Wiess College.



-Immediately after the end of finals, work will begin to make Sewall Hall handicap-accessible.

-All entrance number signs will be replaced over the summer.

Review: 'Adults' couldn’t have matured better

Sitcoms are back, and they’re actually funny. FX’s “Adults” is an original comedy following a friend group navigating New York and what it means to be an “actual adult.” From ever-mounting medical bills to chaotic dinner parties, the group attempts to tackle this new stage of life together, only to be met with varying levels of success.
