The future of BC
No change in tuition and new look to campus
By Zach Dickerson

Faculty and staff met in Dunham Hall on
Wednesday, Oct. 30, for President David Joyce
to announce many of the new and exciting things
for Brevard College that were discussed and
approved of in the most recent meeting with the
Board of Trustees.
One announcement that students will be happy
to hear about is that there will be no change in
tuition and fees for the next academic year. But
the biggest news from the meeting involves
the changes that are planned to be made to the
campus itself
“It’s a domino effect,” Joyce said, “so the goal
is to free up the lower level of Jones, because
we’re growing, and to capture up twenty-four
more beds for incoming students, but to do that,
WLEE has to move out.
“WLEE has been there temporarily until we
were able to figure out [what] a permanent and
conducive place for them on campus would
be,” Joyce said. “Well the best place on campus
would be to convert what we call the bam, the
building by Stanback, so WLEE can use it
for their classrooms, offices, equipment and
whatever else they need it for.
“We will also then need to move the football
locker room that is in the barn out to a new
building next to where the soccer and baseball
locker rooms are now,” Joyce said. “If we’re
going to do that then the building we’re going
to build is going to accommodate even more.”
The new athletic building is planned to be
able to house football’s locker room, the men
and women’s soccer’s locker room, baseball’s
locker room and women’s lacrosse’s locker
room. There are also plans for the building to
have a human performance lab, a classroom and
administrative offices for people in the Athletic
Department.
“We’re already starting to get the building
designed,” Joyce said, “and the construction and
all that will take place next semester.”
All of those projects were approved by the
Board of Tmstees for short-term borrowing, but
the Board also approved of projects for long
term borrowing.
“The other thing that they approved of
is the building of a new residence hall for
upperclassmen,” Joyce said, “which will be
anchored to where the Villages are.
