So that render is over 5 years old now. I wonder if it is still the basis of what they want to do.

If anything the garage will be behind the student recreation center or the LIC and all the parking lots in between will transition into a lawn area.Well, walking all the way through that lot to a smaller garage closer to Candlers Mtn. Rd. just for the sake of walking is silly. There is nothing down there to walk to except LCA and the Tower Theater. A lot as a “hub” for venues all around it seems to make sense.

Having the garage closer to the edge of campus make egress easier. Once cars leave the garage they’re immediately dumping off campus. Yes, it means more walking once you’ve parked but that is the point of a walking campus.LUAlum1215 wrote:I would think that a better spot for a garage would be in between the LaHaye rink and the rec center.

rogers3 wrote:Do you believe that LU will use all those lot to create a mega parking garage? They are still expecting the growth of student residents to reach 16k and maybe a little over. That area may help create necessary facilities/buildings if needed and that will include a lawn to continue the design from main campus. I don’t see how that could be depicted as silly. Of course this wouldn’t occur anytime soon but we’ll see what happens.cruzan_flame13 wrote:That wouldn’t fit with the walking campus idea.

Last parking facility that I remember being mentioned was at the tunnel on East Campus. I think it was Jerry who indicated that would happen with the new basketball facility.
The road through the center has been gone for at least two years now; it’s all parking lot with access lanes on the perimeter. Having the garage closer to the edge of campus make egress easier.

If we get a game with Navy before ODU does that's going to sting! I'm pretty sure he said Navy, I was thinking Army?

thepostman wrote:Or Jerry doesn't know the difference between the Navy and Army and just thinks the entire military is the Army. Which is more normal than it should be.Well the Army Air Corps is pretty awesome with their Long range bombers and missiles
And insulting
