The idea to consolidate museums into the main Bryce building is intriguing.
The natural history museum has been in Smith Hall forever.
I also wonder what plans the university has for acquiring even more land ? It's a very large university to not have any sort of "research park," for instance, and there are big chunks of empty land all over town now, and record-low interest rates.

There's a lot of space at Bryce for a good research park. I think they'd be able to create a lot of room if they'd just reorganize a few things on the property in the plan.
Anyways, I too like the greenspace, I love the lawns they're planning.
Some things I noticed:
- Seems like they're going to plant a pretty dense forest/grove at the Shelby Corridor.
- Looks like they've decided to keep a lot of the Bryce buildings. I was under the impression that before, they were only going to be keeping the old main.
- Seems like they're trying to create a MAJOR focus on the main Bryce building. Lots of pedestrian corridors, plus space usage plans are making it seem like it's going to rival the Quad.
- SO MANY PARKING DECKS
