Letters to the editor for the week of Nov. 19, 2010.

With the addition of a new parking lot and new state of the dormitories come consequences for some of the athletes and the athletic fields at the University of La Verne.

The University Board of Trustees recently approved the next phase of La Verne’s Master Plan for Campus Development.

Solar panels would save the University money, save energy and make a positive impact on the environment.

This January the University of La Verne will unveil the renovated Founders Auditorium. Completion of the long-anticipated revamp of this historic performance hall will be accompanied by a renaming of the hall after University President Steve Morgan and his wife, Ann.

The influx of new students, and expectations that this year’s enrollment increase will hold steady has created the need for additional on-campus housing.

The new Campus Center has made great advancements in the University’s pledge to fulfill environmental advocacy in its mission statement.

The new University of La Verne Campus Center was recently awarded a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver certification for its environmentally sustainable construction, making it the first building in La Verne to receive this recognition.

Founders Auditorium, the largest place for convocations and concerts on campus and also perhaps the most in need of architectural upgrades will finally get a facelift beginning this spring. The University has committed $2.5 million to the renovation and another $1.75 million is expected through donations.
