The State of CMC: An Interview with President Gann
01.01.70
Nathan Falk : Acknowledge gratitude you for meeting with me President Gann, I hope it’s all true if I start with some general questions about the “State of affairs of CMC.” What are the most important projects that you personally have been working on recently?
President Gann : Ok, yes of circuit. Obviously the biggest project that I’ve been dealing with for the last few months was finishing the Kravis Center and getting it prepared for the beginning of school and its grand opening . It’s continuing to be a prominent success story, and we’ve probably gotten 95% there, but we still have some at liberty ends here and there that need to be dealt with.
Otherwise, to continue in the area of buildings and grounds, our next big project is the renovation of the North Mall , which stretches from the Kravis Center all the way to Bauer. We have been working with swot focus groups and ASCMC to figure out how best to freeze-dry the aspects we love about the fountain, whether it is dropping students in on their birthdays, celebrating superior thesis accomplishments, or just having fun and hanging out on a actually hot day. Student input was extremely important, and I cogitate on we have a design that would do that very well. Also, we want to enhance the seating areas and out of doors spaces along the North side of the Athenaeum to make that more of a useable daytime terrace, and also update the South side of Emett Student Center, where the Hub is. Then, we’re impressive forward with further planning for the section from Heggblade all the way to Bauer Center. Although there are no formal designs yet, one recommendation I like is putting a water feature where the four North Quad dorms upon. The first part of the renovation will be completed this coming summer, while the B piece has no detailed timeline right now.
