<p>More photos today of the almost finished Parrish renovations, including the front entrance stairs leading up to admissions, the new student lounge, the Parrish parlors, and the main room in the admissions office:</p>

<p>We snuck around the construction site one night after dropping D off at fall break. It is really nice.</p>
<p>I think that these student lounges, scattered around campus in dorms and academic buildings are an interesting part of Swarthmore. This mailroom lounge, being right at the bottom of the stairs to the admissions office, should be a great way to for prospectives to actually see and perhaps interact with real, live college students.</p>
