The CCU comes to you in the giant economy size today thanks to an abundance of construction news at Bates.

Complete with video, the most dramatic news involves the Campus Life Project, which took on a new intensity in August with the removal of several houses from the sites where two student residences will be built.

But here you can also get a sneak preview of the new home of Bates’ Office of Intercultural Education; and read about the Bobcats’ new batting facility, believed to be the only one of its kind in NESCAC.
