'Great
Excavations'
This week, chapter one begins in Great Excavations--the massive,
fast-track transformation of Homewood into a far more
pedestrian-friendly, far safer and far more beautiful campus.
But, as GX mascot Charles Diggins might have put it: Sometimes
you have to go through the worst of times to get to the best of
times.
So, get ready for noise and mud. Think of detours as a new way to
explore familiar grounds. And try to have a little fun--starting
now.
Tues., May 23, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Homewood campus town hall
meeting. Come see the just finalized overall master plan and get
answers to your questions about the summer's Great Excavations
project, which implements much of the open space portion of the
plan. Shriver Hall auditorium.
Fri., May 26, 11 a.m. 'B.Y.O.S.' Groundbreaking. You've
been to those boring ceremonial groundbreakings, haven't you?
Been forced to sit and applaud politely while a bunch of suits
play in the dirt and have all the fun? Not this time. The Great
Excavations project kicks off the day after Commencement with a
"Bring Your Own Shovel" Groundbreaking, to be held under the
graduation tent in the upper quad. Yeah, there'll be a couple of
short speeches, but then everyone gets a crack at busting the
sod. So:
Dress for dirt.
Bring a shovel, trowel, hoe or other appropriate implement
from home. If you forget, come anyway--some plastic shovels will
be available so you can join in the fun.
Enter the lottery for a Great Excavations T-shirt.
Enjoy refreshments.
You'll also get a chance to check out what the streetlights will
look like and see samples of the brick, granite, marble and maybe
even the trash receptacles.
