Student Life and Technology Center
Construction has begun on the new Student Life and Technology Center. The project was launched with an event on March 18. The building, which will serve as the "living room" of the campus and will include cutting-edge technology designed to link Hendrix students and faculty with the world, is projected to open in January 2010.

Student Apartments
The College is constructing a 72-bed apartment complex at the corner of Front and Mill streets to provide additional student housing. If work proceeds smoothly, the complex could be open for the Fall 2008 semester, which is the College’s goal. Click here for a look at the townhouse plans. Click here for photos of the construction.

Reconstruction of Harkrider Street
Harkrider Street, which is a state highway, is slated for reconstruction in spring 2008. The new design for the street includes two roundabouts, a median in the center and an underpass to connect the main campus with the athletics complex. These traffic calming devices should make it easier and safer for Hendrix to make use of the new facilities under construction.

Wellness and Athletics Center
The newly opened Wellness and Athletics Center located on the corner of Harkrider and Siebenmorgen is the most visible sign of construction on the Hendrix College campus. The 100,000-square-foot facility includes basketball courts, a fitness center, an aquatics center, kinesiology lab space, classrooms and offices for faculty and coaches.

The building, which anchors the College's presence on the east side of Harkrider, is surrounded by playing fields. A new track, with an artificial-turf playing field at its center, and a new soccer field opened in fall 2006. New baseball and softball fields just reached completion. A 140-space parking lot at the corner of Markham and Harkrider has also been added.
