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.

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.
