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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
