Here's the University's explanation of the new plans for Stanley Hall and the northeast quadrant of the University in general. The fountain next to Evans looks rather catchy. Not that any of us will see it until we're alumni, as it won't be finished until 2006.

Demolition is scheduled to begin in late March, with excavation following in May; construction of the new facility will get underway this fall and be competed in spring 2006.

Something that seems to have been missed in the University's careful planning is any thought for the poor new students using Hearst Mining as a lecture hall. The room facing Stanley, 310, not only has terrible ventilation but is RIGHT NEXT to JACKHAMMERING. It's a joke. I have two lectures there.
