General University Area Updates and Rumours

Kind of disappointing to put such a low density building right next to a transit terminal. Is that this first formal plans we've seen for a parking garage location at UW?

Agreed about the low density. The only thing I will say in its defense is that it’s a one-story research facility; in the future if redevelopment is needed, it’s fairly easy to knock down and build something else. There won’t be anything hard to move and, comparatively speaking, not much invested in the building itself.

I believe parking garages have been mentioned on various campus master plans, but only as tentative locations, similar to the way the plans imply locations for future buildings without any specific design.
