the new library’s proposed site. Faculty and staff members
will be relocated to Raley, Legends and Stadium lots once construction
of the library begins in April 2003. The relocation will displace
graduate assistants and other students who park on campus.

You may notice a leaner, meaner
faculty and staff at Appalachian State University this spring,
as they will have to familiarize themselves with the student-like
trek across campus to their classes due to the closing of the
Whitener Hall Parking Lot.
Construction of a new library on the site of
the lot is scheduled to begin in April 2003, Director of Design
and Construction Dr. Clyde D. Robbins said. Approximately 300
spaces will be lost in the construction, leaving faculty and staff
of Plemmons Student Union, Whitener Hall, Belk Library, Chapell-Wilson
Hall and the University Bookstore with options that are challenging
and limited.
