NEWS HIGHSMITH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 serve as ‘Something more than just a building’ and provide a learning and safe environment for all of the community.” Some students said they are con cerned the new renovations will cause more traffic in Highsmith. Bewick said the renovations might slow down the service speed in places like the food court and mail- room. “I am excited for the new renova tions of Highsmith but I am a little worried about how much traffic this is going to draw in,” Bewick said.. “Sometimes I have a short amount of time between my classes and currently for me to grab lunch at Highsmith it is typically not very long. I feel like more students will be going to Highsmith after the ren ovations and I will not be able to grab a quick bite between my class es like I do now.” Recently, a beam from the old Highsmith was displayed in front of one of the main entrances for students to sign with a UNCA blue marker. The beam will be incorpo rated into the “new” building. “I signed the beam because I am a senior this year. I have only been here at UNCA with what new students will be calling the old Highsmith,” said Mel Gomez, se nior Spanish student. “I am kind of sad that I am going to be missing the finished renovations because it is all things I would have loved to have. I think I would have used Highsmith a lot more if I was go ing to be around here after all of the renovations.” Students can see the plans for renovations on the lower level of Highsmith and the work going on inside and out of the building.
