Lake construction may cause problems NKU awarded a contract for the $2.4 million lake renovation project Oct. 26. Construction will begin immediately: the lake will be drained and the fish will be transported to a new home around Nov. 11. Assistant Vice President for Facilities Management Larry Blake said in an e-mail to NKU students that the construction will result in some inconvenience. This project will impact parking and traffic flow near the lake, as a portion of lot J will be closed on Nov. 4. Odors coming from the bottom of the lake may also affect students. He said, however, that the cooler weather may help minimize the potential odor issues.
