So in case you haven’t noticed, it has been unusually warm in Greenville over the past couple of weeks. This has given everyone a great chance to get outdoors in a time where it typically simply isn’t feasible. With the recent influx of warm weather, I have had a chance to get outside and enjoy the new renovations that have occurred around the lake this past semester. Although the renovations involved draining the lake and making my walk to class a relatively smelly and not aesthetically appealing one, the renovations have already proved worthwhile. The new dam, bridge, and planters have not only improved the aesthetic appeal on campus but have also began to improve the water quality of the lake. The new floating planters in the lake are meant to help clean the lake which will make a big difference in the ecosystem within the lake in the future. On the aesthetic side of the things, both the bridge and dam have drastically altered the area around the lake. It now looks cleaner cut.
