Expansion
During the 2000s, a new state-of-the-art library (Hedberg Library) and athletic center (Tarble Athletic and Recreation Center) have been opened, the old library was turned into the Clausen Center for World Business, and the former Physical Education Center was rebuilt and renamed the Tarble Arena. The Oaks, the new student village overlooking Lake Michigan, features six villas with semi-private suites and a media lounge on each floor.
In fall 2011, a new student center opened on the site of the former W. F. Seidemann Natatorium. The new building features a new press box, new bleachers (relocating Carthage fan seating from the west to the east side of Art Keller Field), a new and larger bookstore, new dining options, a campus "living room", a new dining room, a 200-seat theatre, an art gallery, and a gaming area. In April 2012 the student center was formally dedicated and named the Campbell Student Union in honor of President F. Gregory Campbell and his wife, Barbara, for their 25 years of service to Carthage.

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
