I walked thru the campus this weekend. I was like really, this is a 3 year project.
Granted do not know the drawings and structural reports involved. Just it's hard to believe this could not have been done in like 3 phases, but maybe not.
It's California after all.
I get a lot of the infrastructure was built into on to that slope. Makes one wonder if they even thought to just make the entire slope a natural slope again wth 2 to 3 stairs and path up, and maybe bifurcate the union.
there is no rule it has to be one continuous union. the bookstore and Nugget were on flat land portion. Do the upper part unaffedted by the slope first. They could have expanded that vendng area around the GoldMine and track
I get it's not easy and would not like if any of the greenspace became more buildings.

Seems like more poor planning. Shutting everything down for 3 school years (minimum) is unacceptable.
Staff and students will have to eat from vending machines, food trucks and pop up vendors...it's humiliating. Why couldn't the new food hall portion of the renovation been built first, so that there would have been decent brick and mortor dining options while the rest of the student union was being renovated? And, why is this going to take a minimum (and maybe more) of 3 years? Dorms and football stadiums are being built from the ground up in much less time than that.
