-Previously, the quad was a simple grassy hill. The renovation created more accessible paths for students to and from Mather Hall, one of the most central places on campus. Multiple paths now lead from Mather to the [[library|Library]], [[austin_arts_center|Austin Arts Center]], [[clement_chemistry_building|Clement Building]], [[long_walk|Long Walk]], [[hallden_hall|Hallden Hall]], and South Campus [[summit_suites_north_and_south|dormitories]]. +Previously, the quad was a simple grassy hill.

The new design also improved the Mather [[cave|Cave]] entrance, adding a rounded patio into the hill for a natural amphitheater.  More security measures, including LED lights, were added to the quad to increase student safety.
