Radford University is a school on the move.
As someone who has family in town right now, moving their daughter into Radford as an incoming freshman, I can tell you I've seen it firsthand and it's true. Radford is making some moves.
Things like this wouldn't be happening if it weren't true.
There are some good opportunities to invest in an up and coming college community - as someone who actively invests there can tell you (read: Me), let me know if you'd like a confidential analysis.
Progress equals trailers? That's must be why Blacksburg prohibits them and Christiansburg allows them. Hopefully, these aren't for students and aren't FEMA surplus, and are very, very temporary.

RU Alumni, they're most certainly temporary! Radford is undergoing massive capital improvements campus-wide, I just thought the exchange between President Kyle and Provost Stanton was humorous:
Provost Wil Stanton told the crowd of faculty and staff that progress isn't always pretty, what with all that construction equipment, fences and mud.
"And trailers," President Penelope Kyle added from the front row.
"Mobile classrooms," Stanton corrected.
"I'm from Galax," Kyle replied back with a laugh.

Point being, Radford's making progress. Progress is sometimes messy, but in the end the university's students, faculty and staff will be better served because of it. I'm glad to see it happening!
