Comments on Green Space

- The department recognizes the limitations of current university space for future development. However, to cite one example, the concept of wrapping university housing around the campus bell tower seems self-defeating on several grounds: campus appearance, availability of green space for instructional and recreational purposes, identification of a campus landmark, and proximity of housing to other campus buildings. President Davenports suggestion that the university consider purchasing (or re-purchasing) land in surrounding areas should be given strong consideration, depending on availability of funding.
- Notes that feedback indicates that people want lots of green space but also want to park right by their door.
- Request to preserve campus green space.
- I like the pedestrian malls.
