Parking closed permanelty!
12/August/2006 11:26 Filed in: Work
I got a broadcast message in my inbox yesterday (from
the higher ups in the University food chain) and they
said that in order to rehabilitate the indoor garages
will be more than $150
billion
dollars. - yes your read right - $150
BILLION
!
So to fix the garages so that they are suitable for parking and human use would be fiscally impossible and irresponsible, instead they will spend the money to make sure that the garages can support the buildings that are built above it, and prevent parking an pedestrian access permanently. So what will they do? Just pump a whole bunch of concrete to seal it up?! And where will we find parking? After all UMass Boston is a commuter school! There are no dorms, people come in, take classes, leave. People also go there to work! I seriously hope they come up with a solution soon!
To quote a professor "if you ignore problems, they just fester and when you try to do something about it it's too late" (paraphrasing)
Well done UMass! Well Done Massachusetts! a 30 year old campus is facing big problems because of poor construction and ignoring of problems that should have been fixed long long long ago! Campuses like Harvard are older and are not facing such horrific problems.
The ball is in your court, let's see what you do with it.
