It was the last supper – or at least the last bowl of lo mein – at two popular eateries in the basement of Reed Hall in March as the university moved forward in a slew of construction projects.

The space occupied by Eden’s Greens, which opened in 2001, and Deco Deli, created as part of a student’s senior project in 1999, were closed to prepare for construction at the back of Reed Hall. The space will become offices.

Current projects include:

– Clark Hall renovations include adding more bathrooms and personal space and a new lobby that will be accessible from the back entrance. It will reopen in August.
– Jarvis is being gutted and remodeled for office and academic space. The lower two floors of the hall will house several student life facilities, including a career center and university ministries, and the third floor will be remodeled for academic use. The dormitory, which will be renamed Jarvis Hall, will also have a new, more visually appealing west side. It will reopen in August.
– New roads were built from the front of Clark and Jarvis hall to University Drive to aid construction traffic. The roads will be removed and relandscaped when renovations are complete.
– In June, the Brown-Lupton Student Center will be demolished and construction will begin on the Clarence and Kerry Scharbauer Hall, scheduled to open in spring 2010. It will house the John V. Roach Honors College and consolidate the departments of AddRan in one location.
