Green spaces on campus have priority. The green north of the MC is the highest. Followed by the green by the Grad House. Next on the list is the B2 green. Is priority in terms of keeping them intacted. Additionally the future development plan published by the University doesn't suggested there will be a building built on the B2 green. Clearly they have reconsidered that now, but it wasn't always in the plan.
I do not believe the alternative is a bad location in terms of the interdisciplinary nature of the program. Which program do they mean? I assume nanotech. Nanotech is an engineering program with help from science. Also quantum computing research will take place in the building as well.
If it is build towards East Campus Hall, then it is closest to the Engineering, the home of the program, and still just as close to physics as engineering would be to the building if it were on the B2 green. It will still be close to CS which is in the DC now.
We will oneday have to build towards East Campus Hall. If the logic applies to removing the B2 green is in fact sound, then we will loose BMH green and the Grad House green before we do. I don't think anyone really wants that. Be it across University or across Ring Road this expanding University will have make the leap sometime.
The B2 is a well used space, and would be great shame to loose it. The University needs to realize it is loosing something important, and weight that again the potiential cost of building elsewhere (a bullet we will have to bite someday), and the supposed benefits of energy efficiency.
If this building is built on the B2 green a lot of little things will change, including likely, how the Tie is hung.[ Parent ]
