Texas State students are seeing a lot of construction activity as the university expands to match rising enrollment. Kathryn Crider has more in this Bobcat Update.
The new construction includes academic buildings, a fine arts center, a new dorm and additions to the football stadium. Work zones mean more noise and occasional detours, but students are adjusting.

Bobcat Stadium is being expanded to prepare the university's move to the Western Athletic Conference. The new north side complex will add 13-thousand-500 general admission seats and a gallery honoring the Texas State Strutters.
But not everyone is pleased with how the construction affects their daily routines:

The Undergraduate Academic Center and a performing arts center are among the new buildings being constructed. The Academic Center will house PACE, which will help students determine their career paths, and the performing arts center, which will feature a recital hall and a 400-seat theater.
Also being constructed is a new building for the Department of Housing and Residential Life
