Scores of projects large and small are under way to get the campus ready for fall semester. Read this note for a description of the projects and photos of the progress to date.
| Academic Village pavilions I and II The Isabella Cannon International Studies Pavilion and the Honors Pavilion, the first two buildings in Elon’s new Academic Village, are scheduled to open with the start of the academic year. The buildings will provide student housing and faculty apartments, creating a living-learning environment. They will also include classrooms as well as a new outdoor amphitheatre. The existing brick wall surrounding the historic campus will be extended to enclose the AcademicVillage on the east side. |

| Carlton renovation The fully renovated Carlton building at the center of the historic campus is the new home for the Isabella Cannon Centre for International Studies, El Centro de Espanol, a multi-media language media center and the departments of English and foreign languages. Construction was completed July 8 and the departments have moved in. |

| Danieley Center residence halls Two new apartment buildings were completed July 31. Each of the buildings will house 32 students in eight four-bedroom, two-bath apartments. Each student will have a private bedroom and share a common living room and kitchen. An additional 80-bed, suite-style Danieley Center building was completed in April. |
 |
| Koury Center dance and weight room addition With a new addition now complete at Koury Center, work is under way to shift the fitness center to the new space and convert the old fitness center into a dance studio. The expanded facility is scheduled to open with the start of the academic year. |

Offices located in the new building are accounting, purchasing and human resources. The Office of Financial Planning has moved into the space vacated by accounting in the house next to Belk Library. Telecommunications and computer networking have moved into the former human resources office on the east end of Haggard Avenue. |

| Haggard Avenue pedestrian safety project A project to slow traffic and increase pedestrian safety on Haggard Avenue has been postponed until the summer of 2003 due to technical restrictions imposed by the state. When the project is completed, a portion of Haggard Avenue will be narrowed and granite cobblestones will mark pedestrian crossing areas. |
