A driver crashed into a pole in parking lot 62 by the Student Activity Center Thursday. The accident happened at approximately a quarter to 4 p.m., said CMU Police Officer Tim Prout.

Still unidentified, the driver of the car was taken away in an ambulance.

The Education and Human Services Building is 90 percent complete, Facilities Management officials say.

The completion date is still slated as March 13 for the building and May 20 for the landscape. The substantial completion date marks when a building can be used for its intended purpose, said Steve Lawrence, associate vice president of Facilities Management.

The new Education and Human Services building welcomed important visitors Thursday: the Board of Trustees.

Prior to their Thursday meeting, the Trustees toured the building, which will start being loaded with furniture and technology in March, under the guidance of College of Education and Health and Human Services Dean Karen Adams.

Students walking around campus may see a hornet nest or ant mound and not think much of it.

“I deal with insects or animals that create a health hazard or are a nuisance to students or staff,” said the Pest Management Specialist for Pest Control.

The Education and Human Services Building is 60 percent complete, according to a report by Facilities Management.

In some spots the brick-colored finish can already be seen, which will be the dominant color on the building’s exterior once it is completed.

The fall phase of construction for the Botanical Gardens is scheduled to be completed this week, said Associate Vice President of Facilities Management Steve Lawrence.

Phase one, which is divided into the fall and spring semesters, entails the cultivation of 944 plants.

Repairs to the University Art Gallery have cost $41,000 so far and are nearing completion.

The building was closed for repairs after two underground lines began to leak. Because of the repairs, the opening faculty art exhibit was postponed to the spring.

“Visual Narratives: Reading between the Lines” is the exhibit scheduled to inaugurate the art gallery this semester Oct.

A coffee shop and post office are some of the changes discussed for the renovation of the Bovee University Center.

The Board of Trustees unveiled the plan last year signing on the SHW Group with architectural consultants.

“We will be sharing the schematic design ideas in late September,” said Associate Vice President of Facilities Management Steve Lawrence in an e-mail to Central Michigan Life.
