The Geneva College Maintenance Department unveiled its new construction plans for summer 2012. They are to include a several additional permanent walkways on campus, and plan to have this project completed by the time students return for classes in the fall.
The released this statement on Wednesday read: “As part of the ongoing campus beautification and betterment projects we will be constructing more walkways.” They went on to report that at least 10 new walkways will be added to the existing structure of sidewalks.
Student reaction to the Physical Plant’s Statement was entirely positive. Rachel Kuegler is quotes saying, “That is the best idea I have heard from the college community in a long time. It is about time we had more sidewalks on campus.” Says Junior Tom Baker, “I absolutely cannot stand walking on grass and I will gladly pay more tuition money next year so I will never have too.”
The College assured its patrons that enrollment costs will not go up for next year. Upon further investigation however it was revealed that there are several ideas being debated about how to fund this massive project. They ranged from tollbooths that accept meal swipes to cutting intramural sports.
“The Geneva College community is ready for this level of change and we will see it through to the end” -President Ken Smith. This campus-wide sidewalk project is only the first stage in the “Age of Concrete” plan proposed by the physical plant to add over 50 new concrete structures by 2020 including concrete stares, planters, and a statue of John Calvin playing little bat.
