Broadcaster Press 03 July 8, 2014 www.broadcasteronline.com While students are away, workers are busy at MUC By Travis Gulbrandson travis.gulbrandson@plaintalk.net Although the building is devoid of most of the student population, work continues at the Muenster University Center (MUC). The grounds west of the building currently are bare of grass, and have a shallow trench running through them due to the installation of underground piping for an irrigation system. “If you were over there around graduation time, there was a lot of wood chip mulch on the ground, and they did that so it wouldn’t be mud during graduation. They always intended to go back,” said Tena Haraldson, director of communications and media relations at USD. Haraldson said she is unsure of everything that is being planted in the area, but added there will be grass, and may be some shrubs. The work has been hampered somewhat by the amount of rain Vermillion has received this summer, she said. “On the west side there it was kind of a lake for a while,” Haraldson said. Haraldson said she does not know if there is a specific deadline for the outdoor work to be completed. “Certainly, though, they want it to be well- rooted and ready for when students return the third week of August,” she said. “The sooner they can get it in and get the grass going, the more chance it’ll have to get settled before the kids come back.” In addition to that work, tasks are being completed on the inside of the MUC, as well. Last week the “link” between the MUC and I.D. Weeks Library was closed for several days so workers could install new carpeting and remove furniture so it could be re-covered. “We consider both normal maintenance since the furnishings are now five years old,” Haraldson said in an email. The MUC opened in February 2009, and has scarcely had a quiet moment since. Just two years later USD President James Abbott announced the building would be expanded – a project later budgeted at $11.6 million. The expansion began in the fall of 2012 with exterior work. Through the next spring and summer steal beams were placed, floors were poured and the exterior enclosure was started. For a time, the “link” between the original MUC building and the I.D.
