The facelift includes the refurbishment--not yet complete--of the chapel in men's residence Watson Hall. It will become a new 200-seat lecture theatre, the largest on campus.

The cafeteria has also been refurbished--it is sporting new carpet, cash registers and flooring in the servery, and a new sound system is coming--and now includes the college bookshop and a caf?.

The bookshop's move from the Turner building frees up the refurbished space for information technology services, which is moving from its cramped quarters in the White building.

The Faculty of Arts is experiencing similar problems in the Music Hall. The increase in the number of students studying music is the catalyst for an extension into the English Language Centre. The building, also refurbished, now includes space for the Avondale College Brass Band and for harmony and music theory and computers in music classrooms.

Bark is now scattered around the area between College Church and the administration building. Box hedge edging and jasmine tri-colour ground cover are coming.

And grass now replaces car parking bays in Palm Court (pictured), which has become a pedestrian walk.
