Behind chain-link fences and orange cones, the landscape of UK is changing.
Five new residence halls sit behind the fences, all of which are on track to open its doors in the fall of 2014, said Penny Cox, the director of the housing implementation project.
The current construction will bring 2,381 beds in Champions Court I and II (next to Blazer on North Campus), Haggin Hall and Woodland Glen I and II (which will replace the Cooperstown apartments).
Cox said the biggest draw of the new residence halls are the modern facilities. They will offer students suite-style living, including personal sinks, Tempur-Pedic mattresses and classroom space.
Central Hall I and II, which opened this semester, have classroom space in the building. First preference for the classrooms was given to honors classes, as those students are primarily housed in Central I and II, but the halls were placed on the central registrar list so other university classes can use them as well, Cox said.
After the completion of the current construction phase, UK will delve into Phase III, which is still in the planning stages and has not yet been designed, she said.
Cox said recommendations for the plan are expected to be reviewed in January 2014.This phase of construction is planned to be completed in fall 2015.
MIAMI -- Marlins Park is modern, colorful and fan friendly. It has a retractable roof, and in many ways, it's an ideal place to play.
If there is an area that could be changed, slugger Giancarlo Stanton would be in favor of bringing in the fences. Not to turn the two-year-old building into a home-run palace, but to make the park more neutral.
The expansive dimensions have rankled both Marlins and visiting players. When the roof is closed, the ball doesn't travel particularly well.
"You love to see scoring, but you love to see home runs as well," Stanton said. "You don't see them when you come here -- from both sides."
Marlins Park ranks last in the Majors in home runs with 84. Just 36 of them are by Miami.
AT&T Park in San Francisco is second from the bottom with 95, and the Giants have 36 of that total.
Stanton, Miami's 23-year-old right fielder, is regarded as one of the most feared hitters in the game. The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder has heard many times that no ballpark can hold him. Still, he wants to be treated the same as any other hitter.
"I want the normal ones, too," Stanton said. "Where I don't have to crush it 500 feet all the time."
Admittedly, Stanton has had a down season, as he entered Tuesday batting .252 with 24 homers in 111 games. He missed all of May with a hamstring injury.
Stanton also was hindered by injury a year ago, finishing with 37 homers in 123 games. Sixteen of them were at home.

Michael Cuddyer (Karl Gehring, Denver Post file)
Rockies owner Dick Monfort asked for it, so here goes. What's my suggestion on how to improve Coors Field?
Move in the fences. Yep, make Coors cozier.
In the Colorado clubhouse last week, Michael Cuddyer said: "I'm hitting 60 points over my career average. The last thing I'm worried about is the batting title."
Carrying a .331 average into the weekend, Cuddyer stood in excellent position to win the National League batting crown. He's a good man with a sweet swing, so here's hoping Cuddy beats out Atlanta's Chris Johnson for the honor.
But here's the problem: If Cuddyer wins the batting title, it would be the eighth time since 1993 the honor went to a Rockies player, following Andres Galarraga (1993), Larry
Patrick Saunders takes readers' questions about the Colorado Rockies and MLB.
That's a joke. It's too easy to win a batting crown at Coors, which underlines the criticism of baseball at altitude. The LoDo Launching Pad's reputation undermines Helton's candidacy for the Hall of Fame.
What to do about it? Bring in the fences 10 feet from center field to the right-field foul pole. Raise the height of the outfield wall to be uniform with the big, old-school scoreboard already in right field.
Why do it? The primary reason Coors Field is so hitter-friendly is not that the ball carries at altitude, but the outfield grass is such a wide, open prairie that cheap hits create big innings.
