there could be a working fountain on campus like this




I saw this up at Liberty Village, err, Liberty Ridge last night. It looks red and blue in real life. My phone doesn't do it justice. I guess they assume married students will have better things to do than put soap into a fountain.

they need to get rid of the freaking fountain in the courtyard if they aren't going to fix it....

not that i have an opinion on the matter

[blwall1416]

Wait until they put the fountain in the front of DeMoss. Its going to be big & the staff will lose all of those parking spots.

[thepostman]

they've been talking about that fountain for years...I'll believe it when i see it

Its coming. We had to add that into the 3-D renders. Now, when that comes to pass is a different story.

[thepostman]

Ok...its coming in 25 years...haha

kidding...this fountain has been kind of like the 3rd and 4th floors of DeMoss, I hear rumors about them, but nothing ever happens...

I'm 99% sure the fountain was in the original 3D rendering Dave Brown did.

I believe that is correct. We have a team that has spent the last 1.5 years creating a digital, 3-D campus. They were told to be sure to include the fountain. That's all I'm saying.

[mrmacphisto]

Ah, gotcha.

They started construction today on the fountain in front of DeMoss.

is that entire lot going to become green space?!

All I know is a lot of staff & faculty will be upset because they will not be able to park there.

[LUconn]

good, make it grass and tell them to take a freaking bus from another lot.

I think the same should be said for the gated lot next to the Religion Hall.


Or is that where they're wanting to extend it to?

[thepostman]

I am shocked they are actually going ahead with this....but of course the week they choose to start the project is the biggest cfaw of the semester....

Evan without the grass, I had to park off-campus when I was staff. That was over three years ago. There was a bus, but I usually walked.

don't know where you worked, but I worked on campus as recently as two years ago and never had problems finding a close spot. unless you consider campus north off-campus, then that makes sense.

At the time, I was working on main campus. All the offices were still located there, and the Ericsson property had just been renamed the Annex. Nothing was there except the parking lot we were required to use. And maybe LUPD.
