To Aid Shortage
Many groups within the University have
insisted that this area be developed so that it
will help solve problems such as housing and
parking. The proposed complex does however
make efforts towards solving these problems.
The complex will require only 350 parking
spaces, and the rest will be available for student
use at a nominal charge, according to the
developers.
The dormitory-type apartments are designed
for student occupancy and will be priced with
similar housing in the area and will help fill the
demand for housing. The present demand for
student housing calls for approximately 800
new units per year.
The shopping facilities to be located within
the complex are designed to serve women here
and to provide shops close to the academic
buildings on the Grounds. These shops will
create a "supportive business" area similar to
the Corner.
