University of Waterloo Math 4 | 5fl | Proposed

[danbrotherston]

From the most recent Board of Governors meeting of the University of Waterloo, a new location for the proposed Math 4 building. Previously there was a proposal to replace part of the GSC building across William Tutte Way from the Davis Centre; then later Parking Lot L, next to BMH was proposed, which is rather far from the existing Math Faculty buildings.

Now the proposal is to fill in the space where the MC-DC link is with a new building “seamlessly” linking them together. As someone who (when we are on campus) has to walk around to various people in the Math Faculty, I am very happy with this change.

I have extracted relevant pages from the PDF agenda, but I’m a bit unclear on how to post them; do I have to host the files somewhere and link to them?

I mean, locality is nice, but they are removing yet another greenspace, and a darn well used one at that.

Here's the trade, put it on the DC/MC Square, and turn Lot L into a park.

Or, put it on the parking lot across Ring Rd. from the DC beside Eng5, and build another bridge, across RR with a direct access to the LRT station.

Simply removing a greenspace from campus is the easy thing for the Board of Governors to do, it disminishes the campus and harms student life, but in my experience, that hasn't really fazed the university admin much.
