Summer seems like a good time for a university building to get a facelift. And that’s just what the Goodman Resource Center is having done! You’re looking at the wall of our building that faces 7th Avenue. It’s covered in scaffolding so the college can do necessary work to our facade. I’m sure we’ll be all shiny and new for incoming students in the fall, though.<\/p>\n
