It's RPI. We do math.

Have you been wondering why the VCC is under construction?

We found this information on the Physical Plant’s blog

• New concrete sidewalks and lighting for improved pedestrian safety.
• Necessary repairs to underground utilities.
• Removal of failing trees and planting of more sustainable high canopy trees.
• Installation of lighting, benches and bicycle racks.
• Improved access for emergency, delivery and service vehicles.

The good news is that we have word that at Pizza with the Cabinet, Claude Rounds (VP for Administration) said that its expected completion is before the end of the semester.
