Sometimes the Illinois State University campus changes in one fell swoop, such as the construction of the Student Fitness Center or the new Cardinal Court.

But sometimes, the changes are more gradual. Can you spot all of the changes in the photos below?

The historical photos come courtesy of the Dr. Jo Ann Rayfield Archives at Milner Library. The new photos were taken in spring 2015 by University Photographer Lyndsie Schlink.
