Summer Construction Plans (Slideshow)
Not pictured:
-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.

Jeremy Zucker’s arms, like most of his body, host a scrapbook of tattoos — a faded clementine peel, his childhood pets (Rusty and Susie), a Pinterest doodle of Sonic the Hedgehog with a bouquet of flowers. His middle finger is etched with a single tooth, hanging off a thin branch wrapping around the rest of his hand.
