Big Moves at the Purple Line Meeting Last Night

October 30th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Purple Line, Transportation

Based on the proceedings at the Purple Line meeting last night, we demand that the University retract its request for the reconsideration of the Stadium Drive alignment (which they themselves allowed to be dropped long ago). This request is a waste of public funds and demonstrates their continuing disregard for the MTA’s planning process. The [...]

Transit Planners Plan Transit Projects, Not University Presidents

October 29th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Purple Line, Transportation

Today our response to Dr. Mote’s op-ed where he advocates for a non-central campus Purple Line is running in the Diamondback. We highly encourage everyone to attend the Purple Line focus group meeting today at 7 p.m. in the University Visitor Center.
>> “Purple Push“, Diamondback, 10/29
We were pleased to read university President Dan Mote’s Oct. [...]

Purple Line Meeting Monday: Where Should it Go on Campus?

October 26th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in On Campus Development, Purple Line, Transportation

The Maryland Transit Administration will present information this Monday about where the Purple Line could go on campus when the light rail link is constructed between Bethesda and New Carrollton. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29 in the University Visitor Center. We strongly encourage everyone interested in the future of [...]

Student Housing – 6 months later and a whole new ballgame

October 24th, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Housing, Knox Box Redevelopment, Northgate Area, On Campus Development, Politics, Route 1

It has been about 6 months since the issue of student housing really exploded in College Park and anyone (ourselves included) would have had a hard time predicting what has taken place since that time. What started off with hundreds of rising seniors losing their on-campus housing in April has progressed – or regressed rather [...]

Vogel Proposes New Student Housing Project

October 22nd, 2007  |  by David Daddio  |  published in Hilton Hotel, Housing, Northgate Area, The Varsity

The Hilton Hotel is out and a mixed use 700 bed (250 parking space) student housing project is in. Mark Vogel’s architect easily lived up to their last work (pictured just below) for the site when the developer proposed this project to the city council earlier this month. According to a Diamondback article, Vogel plans [...]

East Campus Update

October 18th, 2007  |  by Rob Goodspeed  |  published in East Campus, Environment, Old Town, Transportation

The East Campus Community Review Steering Committee has been meeting since August to hear from the developers and their consultants about a wide variety of issues surrounding the project. We have encouraged our readers to attend these meetings (and many have) and I am an official committee member of this committee. The meetings are preceded [...]

East Campus in Perspective: Technology Square at Georgia Tech

October 16th, 2007  |  by Matt Johnson  |  published in East Campus, Other College Towns

As the East Campus Redevelopment Project moves through the public participation process, it is valuable to look at how other universities have integrated mixed-use facilities into their campuses. This is the second post in that series.
In August of 2003, Georgia Tech completed the much anticipated Technology Square project. This redevelopment effort was in keeping with [...]
