Isn't there also a plan discussed between the city and the university to add an exhibit/convention facility to the north side of Scheman?

In the illustrations it looks like they're planning for that eventually.

Overall it looks like it'll make the ISC feel a lot more like part of campus. More trees, easier walking, and better event space, it looks like it'll be a big improvement.

Here is the link to the final design that will be implemented eventually. I haven't heard any sort of timeline but I am pretty sure that they already have the money lined up so it probably won't be too long.

That looks infinitely better than it does right now. Good work.

Project is being bid in December, construction will start soon after and be completed by Dec. 2013.

I think it could be pretty cool. Maybe make it usable space.

Hey, I've changed my mind. Keep the courtyard as it is. Last Saturday, we tailgated under the elevated walkway. It was the only dry place in the Hilton lot at 5:30am!
