The PIT -- A Makeover? “Plaza,” “Beach" or “Bridge,”

[donbosco]

This is from "1 year ago."

Anyone been through there lately?

I spent a good deal of time in that general area, either sitting in The Pit or even more often hanging by the "Greenlaw Wall."

I misread that and thought you were dishing some "behind the scenes" stuff on "The Pitt."

"I had so many both serious and just relaxed, leisurely conversations in the Pit, and ran into people randomly and struck up friendships,” Frank Proctor said. “And I feel like it’s the University’s town square in a way.”

"There are three main designs: “Plaza,” “Beach" and “Bridge,” each focusing on a different design purpose for the Pit.

The Plaza proposes the elimination of the submerged elements of the Pit and focuses on adding seating and a canopy of trees. The Beach proposal includes a gently sloped section leading into the Pit while maintaining the sunken aspect of the current setup. The Bridge creates an elevated crosswalk through the middle, dividing the area into two smaller sections.

Each of the designs focuses on improving accessibility while simultaneously resolving the drainage issue."
