Bogus Megapardus passed this along to me.
Has anybody read this thing??? It's crazy. I'm not sure what the timeline is on this but even Phase I has some pretty significant projectss outlined. When it is all said and done this campus will be unrecognizeable to most of us. I would be thoroughly excited by this if not for the constant "crying poor" of the college. I suppose much of this is probably subject to postponement or cancellation depending upon economic conditions.
Here's the link. Enjoy...

Interesting stuff. I really like the idea of removing Hamilton street and the roads around the quad to make attditional green space and campus gathering area's. Stuff like that wouldnt be very expensive either I would imagine. |

The rendering looks fantastic. Did you catch the part where they said eventually the parking deck will be redone to support two new academic buildings...on top! Looks like I'll be tailgating on "Hamilton Green". They also talk about expanding the Williams Center for the Arts to house an underground garage for expanded parking during sporting events.

They're going to tear down the Simon building on the Lawn to minimize the impact of building down there. And there seems to be some pretty impressive designs for March field as well. I'll tell you one thing...if you didn't think the remaining greek houses days were numbered before...go ahead and read this.

I at first thought this was a joke but now that I can see the link I see it is a plan. First, I give the administration high marks for having a plan, as ambitious as it is. It does give us a blueprint and an indication as to our capital needs ( and they are considerable in light of this plan). There does not seem to be a prioritization and to me that would be crucial. High marks here for realizing that putting substantial money into thrid street development other than green space is not money well spent. Expanding east of the present campus is not only logical but necessary. I'm not sure how it gets done without first addressing the parking issue. I can't see faculty walking from the new parking lot to Pardee. Who is going to park their cars at the foot of the hill??
But I especially like the realization that expansion is east!!! I still believe we need to be bigger to be more fiscally efficient (2700-2900) |
