Mulkey in 2007 signed a 10-year extension to remain as Baylor's coach.

Kenneth Starr & his wife Alice currently live in the Albritton House (President's house) on the Baylor Univerity Campus. Most famous for being the independent council while Bill Clinton was President, Starr is now President of Baylor University
In the early 1960s, a neighborhood on the outskirts of campus along Guittard and Harrington avenues was established to house faculty and executive-level Baylor employees. Quickly dubbed "Fort Faculty," the community allowed faculty members living there to have interaction with students while still being able to maintain some privacy.
In the decades since, the University has grown steadily around the neighborhood with the additions of the McLane Student Life Center, the Speight Avenue Parking Garage and now the new sciences building. What was once a quiet residential area on the edge of campus quickly is becoming a central part of it.

Site of the Battle of Lee's Mill
The Battle of Yorktown or Siege of Yorktown was fought from April 5 to May 4, 1862, as part of the Peninsula Campaign of the American Civil War. Marching from Fort Monroe, Union Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac encountered Maj. Gen. John B. Magruder's small Confederate force at Yorktown behind the Warwick Line. McClellan suspended his march up the Peninsula toward Richmond and settled in for siege operations.
On April 5, the IV Corps of Brig. Gen. Erasmus D. Keyes made initial contact with Confederate defensive works at Lee's Mill, an area McClellan expected to move through without resistance. Magruder's ostentatious movement of troops back and forth convinced the Federals that his works were strongly held. As the two armies fought an artillery duel, reconnaissance indicated to Keyes the strength and breadth of the Confederate fortifications, and he advised McClellan against assaulting them. McClellan ordered the construction of siege fortifications and brought his heavy siege guns to the front. In the meantime, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston brought reinforcements for Magruder.

L’Ambiance Plaza Memorial
The L'Ambiance Plaza collapse was one of the worst disasters in modern Connecticut history. L'Ambiance Plaza was a 16-story residential project under construction in Bridgeport, Connecticut at the corner of Washington Avenue and Coleman Street. Its partially erect frame completely collapsed on April 23, 1987, killing 28 construction workers. Failure was possibly due to high concrete stresses on the floor slabs by the placement process resulting in cracking ending in a type of punch through failure. There was a school of thought that this accident was preventable and highlighted the deficiencies of the lift slab construction technique. This accident prompted a major nationwide federal investigation into this construction technique as well as a temporary moratorium of its use in Connecticut.
