Cranes, cones and diverted traffic. These generally mean one thing on a university campus — growth and change. At Appalachian State University, signs of construction also represent our deep commitment to the institution’s academic mission, the quality of the App State Experience, and service to students and the citizens of North Carolina.
App State has major construction projects underway or being planned that will enhance the App State Experience and support the university’s strategic plan, “Empowering Human Potential through the Appalachian Experience.”
Each project also supports App State’s goals and metrics associated with the University of North Carolina System’s strategic plan, titled “Higher Expectations.”
