Nursing renovations: Noisy, but necessary
Second phase of construction in Fagin Hall underway; students tolerate inconvenience

But according to some students like Nursing sophomore Kaci Kapczynski, the noise is "definitely noticeable" and can be disruptive. "It's not terrible, but is present," she said.
Still, for many, the building's first major face lift in its 35-year history is less of an inconvenience than a welcome sign for the future.
"There have been lectures where we could hear jackhammers," Nursing junior Lindsay Alwine said. "But I haven't really been inconvenienced. I'm glad for what they've done so far."
The first phase of construction, completed three years ago, included the renovation of several of the building's classrooms and ground-floor auditorium, upgrades that Alwine said have greatly improved the building's technological capacities.
"I'm delighted they got it done," she said. "Being able to access that kind of technology has really helped us."
The third phase of construction, not yet underway, will include the addition of teaching labs and further upgrades to already renovated areas of the building.
