Construction on Kent State's new Henderson Hall parking lot and walkways proceeds toward completion ahead of the start of fall classes on August 26th. 
     The 1.425 million dollar project will provide additional faculty parking for the college of nursing which borders the new lot to the south.
     The project will also feature expanded walkways in the green space to the rear of the building, replacing gravel paths and connecting the buildings of the science mall with a unified mode of  access.
     The Henderson Hall project did eliminate a significant green space that had been used for soccer, rugby, and other field sports.  Presumably, these activities will be diverted further east to the recreation complex near Loop Road.
