Other projects included a landscaped outside patio at
Maples Library Café, new windows in Warren Art Building,
new roof and renovated locker rooms in Tarr Music Center,
and renovations to the 80-year-old building that houses the
Appalachian Cultural Center and to historic Swann Residence
Hall. Much of the work is credited to donors and volunteer
groups such as Women of Vision and Baptist Builders.
Upgrades to Carson-Newman athletic sites include new turf
in Burke-Tarr Stadium, the addition of a new Jason S. Edwards
Fieldhouse for soccer teams, and a fieldhouse expansion and
turf enhancements for the University's softball program.
"These renovations – from the new Learning Commons at the
Library, the art building and updates in the science building
– are all in keeping with our Students First commitment at
Carson-Newman," said O'Brien.
