"Taking Root, Growing Strong"

Wheelock College officially broke ground yesterday for the new Campus Center and Student Residence, being constructed on what was the Library Green. Among the speakers at the ceremony was Aaron Wordell, president of the Wheelock Class of 2011. Here's an excerpt from his speech:



And here's a drawing of what the new building will look like when it is completed.

Of course, with construction comes machines and equipment. For descriptions of what the equipment is and what it does, take a look at Building Machines and What They Do (call number J 681.76 R11b), a picture book with drawings of many different pieces of equipment. Construction Zone (call number J 690 H86c) depicts the construction of the Stata Center at MIT in words and photos.

More updates as the work progresses.
