But, not for some people at Western Maryland College. A competent construction crew is hard at work throughout the entire summer in order to complete the renovations for the new Gill Gymnasium. In the winter months, an unfortunate fire broke out in the WMCgym which destroyed the majority of this old building. At that time, many sports teams had no space for practices or games. The Western Maryland College staff desired this unfortunate incident to cause as little inconveniences as possible. As a result, construction crews are dilligently working on a daily basis on the renovations. They began work during the spring semester. A complex blueprint was drawn up and is now being carefully followed. As the spring semester ended, construction continued. WMC students who are remaining on campus throughout the summer see an enormous amount of progress taking place on the gym. The WMCstaff desires that the renovations be completed before the start of the fall semester. All of te construction crews hard work will payoff when WMC students return to campus for the '97-'98 school year. They will see the renovations completed and a new functional Gill gym workers use the newe~t construction technology to the benefit of the WMC community 20
