The University’s progress and forward momentum is clearly evident by the ongoing list of capital projects on the MTSU campus. The new four-story University Library opened for student use in January 1999. A new ap- proach to on-campus living, Scarlett Com- mons, opened this fall. Also it is anticipated that the Greek Row Project will be completed by the beginning of the Spring 2000 semester. In all, there has been over $200 million in construction projects this decade that have been completed or are under way. In its earliest day, MTSU was a teach- ers college and still educates more teachers than any school in Tennessee. It also has one of the largest Recording Industry programs in the nation and strong programs in Business, The Business and Aerospace Building is among the $200 million in construction projects completed on the Middle Tennessee campus in this decade.

The Campus Recreation Center offers fitness and recreation opportunities to students, no matter where their interests lie. For starters, there are six indoor basketball/volleyball courts, six racquetball courts, and indoor and outdoor pools. Also featured in the facility is an indoor track, a cardio-vascular room, a weight room, an aerobics room, and an indoor soccer and roller hockey area. Indoor activities are not the only ones available at the Campus Recreation Center. Outside are a sun deck and three out- door sand volleyball courts along with the afore- mentioned pool. Students can also join a myriad of recreational clubs and sign up for various off-campus activities such as whitewater rafting and hiking.
At a cost of $32.75 million, the new University Library is the crown jewel of Middle Tennessee’s building projects over the past 10 years. The library, which opened in January of 1999, spans 250,000 square feet and is capable of housing 800,000 volumes. The state-of-the-art design features study seating for 2,500 stu- dents and has 350 public access computers that are connected to a variety of networks for research. In fact, the scope of the library’s network is so expansive that over 150 miles of cable connects the computer terminals to the network. If electronic research doesn’t lead to answers, the library subscribes to nearly 3,500 journals and other periodicals that are readily available for student use. Fifty-three microtext readers and 14 microtext readers with printers are accessible by students in the periodical section. Space in the library has also been reserved for classroom usage and group study area. One visit to the Univer- sity Library will convince any student that the support for their aca- demic pursuits is unmatched anywhere in the area.
“It’s hard to go anywhere in the country and find facilities as nice as ours at Middle Tennessee. They are second to none.”
