As the bell rings and students rush out of their classes, they all meet at the main staircase to make it to their next class. This piece of infrastructure, however, is not adequate for the crowds.
In order to approach the rising demands for efficient means of transport, Kim Kirk announced plans to build a new mega project. This project includes the addition of escalators, new staircases, and large, art museum-like elevators.
This approach is viewed as necessary by administrators, but also the staff and students that deal with it everyday. Sophomore Branch Sword has faced the charms of the current design and said, “I’ve fallen forwards, I’ve fallen backwards, I’ve fallen to the left, I’ve fallen to the right, and I’ve been hit in the head with a water bottle.”
This project, being built by BurWil, will take three years and 3.6 million dollars to complete. During this time, the main staircase will be closed during the project construction and students are encouraged to use one of the preset detours through multiple other complicated staircases.
“I think we should look into […] making it a little easier to get from one place to another,” said Tim Davis.
