During recent months, construction work has been part of the Harding landscape.
The Homecoming festivities will signify the dedication of two constructions and the beginning of a new building phase.
The Physical Resources Department is working to finish the last details on Legacy Park and the new Swaid and Christy Swaid Center for Health Sciences Building. The department will also soon begin construction of the new section of the Pryor-England Science Building.
According to Danny DeRamus, director of the Physical Resources Department, the weather delayed their work for three days. However, the construction and landscaping should all be concluded before the dedication at 11:15 a.m. on Oct. 26.
Right now, DeRamus and his team are focusing their efforts to have the new tower and sidewalks done by Legacy Park. Also, they are finishing the signage and the dedication donor wall at the health and sciences building.
After Homecoming, the Physical Resources Department is going to start working on a new section of the Pryor-England Science Building. The new construction consists of a one-story building located in what is now a section of the science building’s back parking lot. The construction is expected to be concluded before next fall.
Also, the third floor of the Olen-Hendrix Building is going to be remodeled before classes start next semester. DeRamus said remodeling and maintenance are ongoing processes to ensure every building is in adequate conditions.
Earlier in the semester the women’s softball field, labs at the physical therapy building and dorm remodeling were successfully concluded.
