Sterling Pitchford
Texas State University has several construction projects underway. Bobcat Update's Sterling Pitchford tells us about ongoing efforts to enhance parts of the campus.
Last year, the university completed a walkway between Commons and Flowers. While it was under construction, the project interfered with student living.

The university has also completed renovations on Jones dining hall. While the aesthetics of the dining hall improved dramatically, some students question whether the money could have been put to better use elsewhere, such as classrooms or transportation.

The number of the incoming freshmen class grows each year at Texas State. Bobcat Update's Alix Rodriguez has more on the story.
Enrollment continues to increase, which means on-campus living is also more in demand.
SB
Construction is non-stop at Texas State, and dealing with it can be stressful for those who live on campus.

The constant noise of trucks beeping or drills hammering away at concrete, right outside a residence hall window, can create a situation where students have to move to find a quiet place to study.
