Fire alarms have been a more frequent occurrence in recent weeks at the L-B-J Student Center. Mandie Garcia tells us why in this Bobcat Update.

University officials say the fire alarms have been accidentally triggered by ongoing construction at the center.
The alarms forced students to evacuate the student center and wait up to 30 minutes for U-P-D to approve re-entry. The student center is undergoing renovations, including additions to the basement dining hall, larger seating areas and a new restaurant.
Sophomore Alex Smith says university officials should try to keep students informed about big projects on campus:

The project was supposed to have been finished last August, but updated floor plans and equipment delays have forced postponements. The blocked-off area makes for a cramped and frustrating environment.

Stand up:
"Lyndon's U-Club promises a sit-down restaurant environment and full wait staff for students to enjoy. Construction began in May and Texas State officials are hopeful that U-Club will be up and running by the end of next semester. For Bobcat Update, I'm Mandie Garcia."
