Purdue University grounds department employees Carlos Flores, at left, and Eddie Castaneda prepare the soil for sod on the south lawn of the Purdue Memorial Union. The work is part of a $175,000 refurbishment of the area made possible by a gift from the Class of 1953 in honor of its 50th anniversary. An Oct. 22 event will take place to dedicate the space, which also will include walkways and other plantings. The lawn will replace a reflecting pool to beautify the area, provide more green space and minimize the maintenance associated with the pool.
