      the

      would
      be

      [with

      September,
      but
      we
     
     
      only
      got
      it
      in
      December/Janu-
     
     
      ary.
      [But]
      everything
      is
      very
     
     
      much
      still
      on
      schedule.”
     
    

    
     
      Ground
      is
      expected
      to
     
     
      be
      broken
      in
      July
      2000,
      and
     
     
      the
      building
      is
      slated
      for
      com-
     
     
      pletion
      in
      March,
      2001.
     
    

    
     
      In
      the
      meantime,
      stu-
     
     
      dents
      are
      still
      curious
      as
      to
      the
     
     
      fate
      of
      the
      familiar
      Barn,
     
     
      which
      has
      been
      a
      haven
      for
     
    
   
   
    
     
      countless
      students
      and
     
     
      events
      over
      the
      years.
      “It’s
     
     
      got
      a
      lot
      of
      memories
      at-
     
     
      tached
      to
      it,”
      commented
     
     
      one
      second
      year
      student.
     
     
      According
      to
      Stephen
     
     
      Lewis,
      SU
      VP
      Finance,
      its
     
     
      future
      is
      still
      up
      in
      the
      air.
     
     
      “There's
      talk
      of
      turn-
     
     
      ing
      it
      into
      a
      green
      space
      with
     
     
      trees
      and
      grass,”
      he
      says.
     
     
      That
      would
      require
      that
      it
      be
     
     
      torn
      down.
      There’s
      been
     
     
      limited
      discussion
      on
      what's
     
     
      going
      to
      happen
      to
      it.”
