Lee Tolentino of Architects & Engineers helps with sign installation as the campus add a humorous touch to its seemingly endless construction and expansion. Five signs, which appear at various construction sites all over campus, offer amusing definitions of "progress," "construction" and "amaze." One appearing at the Segundo Dining Commons defines "Amaze" as "To meander frantically around all of these construction projects, looking for a way out or your study group, whichever comes first." Another sign defines "Progress" as "An ironic state in which the path to UC Davis' future obstructs your path to Bio Sci 1A." And "construction" is defined as "The factor in Einstein's theory that alters time and space, expanding weeks into months and turning your easy route to class into a bewildering search for the Northwest Passage." The signs came from the office of John Meyer, vice chancellor for resource management and planning. "They're meant to give a little humor to construction and how it impacts students and pedestrians who walk by it every day," says Tolentino. -- By Mike Sintetos
