I don't know if there are any drawings/renderings out there, but does anybody remember this - When Axel Misen was the president at MUN, he wanted to build a tower in the centre of the current science building and then have the old building torn down around it. I'm not sure if there was any planning done or if it was just bantered with, but it was an interesting idea.

MUN should use that space to construct 2 buildings, at least one of them being an additional residence.

With the Battery purchase, they would be better off converting it to an office building and returning the Arts building to primarily classroom space after extensive renovations. I like the idea of a residence in the Battery, (think of the impression it would give of St. John's to students coming in) but it's just too far away from the campus to be practical. It's almost the same as if Grenfell were to purchase the lodge at Marble Mountain, it just wouldn't make sense for the university to use it for student purposes.
