Parking needs to be looked at vertically not horizontally on campus. In otherwords, more parking garages and make the existing more floors.
Agreed, and I think they're doing that for the most part. This will be Garage #3, with land earmarked for at least two more just south of the LRT/Culture building and one to the west of the Burrow (not sure why West vs East….)
But right now it's a matter of cost, right? The garages cost $13-15M and take a 10-12 months to construct. On the other hand, surface parking you can pay for by space, it's something like $1500-2000 per space, and you can have that done in a week. So when parking problems mount, they react by building surface parking and continue to save for proper parking garages, which can then be added on top of the surface parking later.
Makes perfect sense. Thanks.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Nothing new there for current students but could be of interest to alumni.

LOL I was about to say. But it's still cool to see this pics of our gorgeous and growing campus, even if I do live in IVA.
Keep up the good work on this blog, I read it just about every day!

Thanks guys.
We do have people on this board that may or may not read the blog but they live in Illinois, Texas, Canada (right?) and some other places, and I know that when I lived in Gainesville I was curious to see what was happening "on the ground" in Boca but couldn't unless someone from here (or Ted) would post a picture of it.
Anyway, I'll be moving back to ideas and general discussion stuff tomorrow.

Also, the first row of the UC parking lot is closed and the grass area around the cafe to the Lifelong Learning Center is closed and barricaded with a tall fence that you can't see through. Any idea what's going on?

From my 6th floor view from IVAS, facing campus, it looks like they've started filling in the outside walls to the side that is facing North (very small side). I'm too far for my camera phone to pick it up, but if I head back over there before the Sun goes down I'll take a couple photos.
Awesome. Thanks!

Only idea I have: "Centre Marketplace Cafe expansion and remodeling of existing marketplace cafeteria - budget $2,000,000." Unfortunately the architect website doesn't seem to have many renderings, they just take photos of the finished project, but I'll keep an eye out for some anyway.
The Centre Marketplace goes through renovations every couple years. There used to be an outdoor (but fenced in) patio that became the "dessert bar" area with seating. Not sure what the plan is, if they're just adding more seating or if they're adding outdoor seating again but I assume there will be more food stations. If nothing else, maybe they can separate the "grab and go" stations (like pizza) from the "wait in line" stations (burgers, grill, meal of the day) to spread out the crowds a little bit.
