Texas State now has the largest freshman class in its history, which means the university has a challenge. It now has to meet the needs of a growing student population. In this Bobcat Update, Dan Shedd tells us how the university is coping.

You don't have to walk far on campus to find buildings under construction. New ones are going up while others are being renovated. Old Main and the Psychology buildings are being upgraded. And, on University Drive, there's a new building under construction. Crews are putting the finishing touches on a Performing Arts Center. The construction may cause delays for some students, but a lot of them take it stride. Texas State student Zac Covey says the construction may be annoying sometimes, but getting to campus from his apartment is usually pretty easy.

Senior Mass Communications major Lindsey Broyles says she's most affected by the construction at Old Main and is looking forward to when the job is finished.

The construction projects are part of the university's master plan, which was adopted seven years ago. University officials say it will probably take another two years to complete.
