NOTE: If any site is chosen that would impact parking, the parking spaces would need to be replaced as part of the construction costs of the building.
My only request would be to build the replacement parking lot first – then the building!
The promised “replaced” parking spaces bring concern that the money-sucking parking garage will be brought back to life. The cost of the parking garage proposed a few years ago (at ~$6000/space) should have included a valet and eternal heated parking. I exaggerate a little…but not about the estimated cost. Let’s not go down that road again. Please. Hopefully, Jake Jab will be allowed to apply some of his business sense to this project.
I’ve heard that the Classroom Committee discussions were “lively.”
Friday as I was walking around Reid, I noticed that one instructor had re-configured the traditional Reid classroom to have the students all sitting in a circle.
My point is that CoB faculty will go to great lengths to try classroom configurations other than all students facing the instructor.
