[Vision2020] Beautiful renovation at . . .

[Ron Force]

Ever since the Olmsteads laid out the campus, physical esthetics has been an outstanding feature of the UI. After the classroom building got redone, the consistency in architecture has been restored. The place looks like a college campus is envisioned by the public.  The new entrances follow the theme.

While I don't know the details of the funding, I'd just say that university budgets aren't necessarily interchangeable. Capital improvements come from one fund, operating from another, salaries from a third. You get in trouble transferring from one to the other, as a previous administration found out...

>Thank you, Ron for posting this information.  I understand the notion of setting edges and creating transitions -  I call it marking territory.  Some lovely flower beds and tasteful signage would accomplish the task nicely.  I doubt that three quarters of a million dollar  spent on “esthetics”  is worth the price in times of plenty.  Given the current parsimonious education funding in Idaho, I would infinitely prefer that amount be  allocated to the University Library to benefit students, faculty and staff.
