Northwestern’s campus is in the process of some exciting and positive improvements.
In front of the library, the brick planters and sidewalk that were once there have been removed.
Workers are now getting the area ready so that more concrete can be poured, and other renovations can be done. A few years ago, the old fountain that was in the area was taken out as well.
Last semester, red and black concrete was poured on the campus. I think the addition of the red and black concrete looks pristine, and adds even more beauty to our already beautiful campus. An outdoor classroom is also in the works for the Northwestern Campus.
In my opinion, I think an outdoor classroom will be extremely beneficial to students, faculty and staff, which is an exciting thing for everyone. I think having an outdoor classroom will be fun, and improve not only student grades, but the mental health of students as well.
A college student’s mental health is crucial for one to reach their highest academic potential, so I think it’s really awesome that Northwestern is implementing an outdoor classroom.
Another postive aspect of the renovation s is the possiblity of encouraging students to attend Northwestern.If a potential student feels inspired by the look of the canpus, it may make them feel more at home, and may also help them envision themselves as a Northwestern Ranger.
All of these improvements make me even more excited and proud to be a part of Northwestern, and I think the alumni that come back for Homecoming will be ecstatic to see the positivity going on at the university. Ride, Rangers, ride!
