New building on the way

Virtually every building on our stunning campus is new.

• All new dorms (and more on the way).
• New (and, while still new, nevertheless already expanded) sports/fitness complex.
• New library (with a Starbucks!)
• New I. M. Pei designed performing arts center.
• New student union.
• Two new ginourmous academic buildings.
• Our first night football game.

Alas our building, which houses computer science, computer engineering, physics and my new department, mathematics, is the last old, decrepit academic building. It's a bit like the movie Up, where the old house was surrounding by shiny new buildings.

But no worries! the new building, Luter Hall, has broken ground and will be ready for Fall 2013. I'm sure you'll want to follow its construction here on the Luter Cam.

When the building opens, I will go to the biology, chemistry and psych departments, which are in the brand-spanking-new building (Forbes Hall) that just opened this semester and ask: "How can you stand being in this old, out-of-date facility?" Can't wait!
