Construction begins on the Ortmayer Stadium renovation project.

Anyone who has visited other college campuses has probably seen the towers with a bright blue light on top. These towers are emergency response systems put in place around the campus so students have a quick way of seeking help if put in any danger.

A water main on the construction site of the new dorm at D and Second streets broke late Monday morning, spraying thousands of gallons of water through the site.

For the inauguration of President Devorah Lieberman the campus was scrubbed until even the trees around La Verne seemed to shine.

As progress on the new dorms continues and the successful opening of the long-awaited parking lot earlier this week, it looks as if the University of La Verne is growing at a steady pace.

The long-awaited parking lot, which spans roughly between D Street and the Athletic Pavilion will open Tuesday.

Ortmayer Stadium, including the football field and track, are scheduled to undergo a major facelift sometime in November, most likely sometime after the football season.

Bulldozed baseball, soccer and football fields will eventually give way to the spanking new residence hall and a parking lot.
