Glad they’re dressing up the front of that building. Looks pretty bad compared to everything else in South village.

They’re doing some lawn maintenance to the hill along University Road, too. They really need stairs there instead of the goat paths from West deck.

Around 1978 we had a big storm and the campus was closed for the first time ever due to snow. Some people grabbed a couple of tables like this from the Cone Center and they made decent sleds for going down that hill with about 4 riders. I may or may not have participated.

There used to be a big hill where Woodward hall is. We went sledding in laundry baskets on that hill. Once they broke, we found a dumpster and ripped the plastic top off to use as a sled.

Memberships are also available for faculty and staff, alumni and university retirees, starting at $160 per year.

Basketball season ticket holders can show Saturday ticket at the new facility and tour the place (1-4 pm Saturday).
Its next to the Student Union.

Formerly the Black Lot.

RIP Blue Lot

Cone sector redevelopment – May build a new deck on lot 7 but would be very
expensive. Current Cone deck may be used as academic or athletic space or a new
parking deck. Decisions will be made in the coming months.

PaTS is in discussion with the athletic department about game day parking in football
lots. Athletics manages the parking program for football games but coordinates with
PaTS to provide staffing.

We need some large SCHOOL SIGNAGE on this hotel.

We own it, correct? Marriott is just leasing and has no ownership stake?

University Foundation owns it and Mariott are the operators.

Get rekt, bus!
