Done with phase one: Bryan Center construction kicks off Renovations to the Bryan Center entrance, Page and West Union will continue through Spring 2015 and beyond Emma Baccellieri News Editor
Work on the Bryan Center’s newest upgrade began in earnest over winter break. Crews spent the last several weeks doing demolition work—tearing down the first set of double doors in the building’s main entrance. To keep disruptions to a minimum, work will pause until spring break. “It helps with traffic flow immediately, because people only have to go through one set of doors,” said Sarah Burdick, director of administration and special projects. Plans had originally called for the work to begin during spring break, which would have required the closure of the main entrance for the rest of the spring semester. By spacing the work out over breaks, the University should be able to avoid closing the entrance during the semester, Burdick said. After picking back up for spring break, crews will again pause and will likely resume the work following commencement in May, though there is a chance that the renovations might begin slightly earlier in April, Burdick said. The work should be completed in time for the start of the 2015-16 academic year. The entrance is being renovated to improve the environment inside and around the Bryan Center and will include a new glass facade that will allow for increased natural light. The design was inspired by campus structures such as Penn Pavilion and Von der Heyden Pavilion. Work continues on a number of other campus construction projects—some of which are not far from completion. The water reclamation pond, at the corner of Towerview Drive and Erwin Road, will open later this Spring, Burdick said. The pond itself has been completed, and water is being pumped from the pond to a chilled water plant to help bring the University’s net water usage for heating and cooling closer to zero. Work on a bridge, pier and pumphouse have also been completed. See Renovations on Page 4

WAKE FOREST
NO. 4 DUKE
First conference road game marks challenge for Blue Devils, but Duke manages to come through in the clutch Ryan Hoerger Sports Managing Editor WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—Duke’s first conference road game also marked another first—the first time an opponent has legitimately challenged the Blue Devils this season. Despite this challenge from a scrappy-upset minded Wake Forest squad, No. 2 Duke maintained among the nation’s three undefeated teams by defeating the Demon Deacons 73-65 at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Wednesday night. “We have a lot of young guys, so playing at this

level of intensity in a conference game on the road is something that they have not experienced,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “There’s a sense of urgency with every ACC game that you can’t manufacture—you have to experience it.” As the momentum shifted back-and-forth throughout the second half, Duke finally seized control when sophomore guard Matt Jones stroked a 3-pointer with 2:26 remaining to give the Blue Devils a 64-59 lead. Freshman Tyus Jones sliced through the lane and finished off the glass less than a minute later, padding Duke’s lead and sending Krzyzewski leaping off the bench. The eight-point victory marked the first time the Blue Devils (14-0, 2-0 in the ACC) had defeated an opponent by single digits this season. Following the 997th win of his coaching career, Krzyzewski was unsurprised See M. Basketball on Page 8
