College Prowler Take
Simmons is growing, and because of that, improvements are rapidly being made to campus facilities. Future plans continue to please alumnae and students. A $250-million-rebuilding program has modernized the classic Main College Building, with a new College center, conference center, computer kiosks, and the updating of classrooms. The School of Management building recenlty opened, as well. Current students are glad to have the walkways free again and to not have to listen to the sounds of drills during lectures. The One Palace Road building is home to a high-tech media resource center, the Career Education Center, Writing Center, various offices, and many comfortable classrooms. Underground parking is available for staff under this highly modern addition. Aesthetically, the Main Campus Building has maintained its classic architecture—the brass weathervane still acts as a beacon and object of pride. The main staircase is worn in the places generations of women have ascended. The small scale of the campus ensures no building can be forgotten, and grounds and cleaning staff work to keep the buildings clean and the grass green. The Holmes sports center houses many stress-releasing pieces of sports equipment, and students come here to seek refuge on the treadmill, in the swimming pool, or on the track. Students Speak Out

The athletic facilities are fantastic! The computer facilities are also great. Sometimes the printers on the Residence Campus run out of ink or jam, generally when you have a paper due in five minutes, so it’s best to print as early as you can for this reason. It doesn’t happen often, but be prepared that it might. |

I believe the athletic center is nice but not big enough. The student center is always crowded and is the best place to sit back and relax for a few minutes before your next class. Since Simmons is remodeling most of the residence halls and the campus, all the facilities will look completely renewed in the near future. |

Since Quadside Café has been redone, it seems that it is a great place for students to get together and study or just hang out. |

The facilities are nice! Except some of the older dorms, that’s one big exception. But, everything seems to be up-to-date and very clean, especially. |

The facilities are nice. The gym...
The facilities are nice. The gym is used by a lot of other people besides students, so sometimes that’s weird, but not too much. Computers are good, the fast Internet rocks. The student center is cute, there’s really no other word for it. There are pods (areas with a couch and two chairs and a table) and a coffeeshop upstairs, and the Fens (where the best food is) is downstairs. |
