As usual, UCF did their facility on the cheap and came out looking cheap. We are doing it the right way. Good work DW. My hope is that Athletics, the University, and the city of Tampa/Hillsborough County can all work together to improve the area between the campus up to the Claw along 46th street. Put in sidewalks and perhaps a pedestrian bridge, so that it's all linked together and gives the school a bigger presence. I agree with that. I was thinking about that as well. The Golf team just got a sweet new Mercedes van to travel in, which im sure they use to travel to and from The Claw from the Lee Roy Selmon Athletic Facility (I love saying that.) I think 46th needs to be more pedestrian friendly, maybe do what they did on 42nd by adding sidewalks and better street lighting. The whole area on the north side of campus (42nd and 46th) and along Fletcher need to be emcompassed by the university in terms of making streets more pedestrian friendly and more of a true student housing feel. 42nd has had major improvements already.

Of course, as was already discussed, the biggest improvement to that whole area will be finally demolishing Fontana Hall, followed up by getting John Knox out of there.

For those here who don't know, there is a thread on that: The buildings will be demolished and replaced with a modern, up-to-date student housing community that will have approximately 314 units with 539 bedrooms plus parking. http://thebullspen.com/index.php?/topic/85008-transforming-off-campus-housing-the-edge-and-formally-fontana-hall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just skeptical since there have been so many stories about things being done to that place. I'll believe it when I see the demolition of that building.

Some of us have elderly parents that are looking to go there. The highest rated facility of its kind in the Bay area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
