A lot of folks use the N-C parking lots for parking on gamedays. When we have attendance of 20K+ the lots are full. How much parking is in this plan?
Yeah, like 'em or not. You know the campus will look different w/o N-C towering above the RR tracks.
I remember something like this happening twice in 05-06 school year. Except I don't remember there being any fire. I lived on the 2nd floor in 04 and 05. The poor guys at the west end had their dorm destroyed because of a fire, or fire water line burst....I don't remember. Then I remember maybe a month or two later I heard what was a water fall going down the stairs. Thankfully my roommate and I didn't loose anything but towels, which the university said they would replace, but never did. I love how I hated it so much back then, but looking back now, I'm glad I have those memories. I lived in Hut the next year and loved it before moving off campus.
I hope we do something like this:

Could probably get some EPA grant since it's "green"
I think it would be cool if they did the entire parking lots around The Joe with this; the drainage already goes to Lake Reneau, this would just clean up the water some and keep the heat down during the early season games...

I think that they should allow the KA's to go at Hutcheson with their cannon and charge them $100 per shot! There was already one hole put in the back side of it in the 70's!!!! ; )
Tech already has a product made by this company installed at the Everett street apartments. http://www.invisiblestructures.com/rainstore3.html. I remember seeing the Grasspave while researching the rainstore system a few years ago.
