Yep. Again, put it on the east side... street level... mimicking style of Lovett Hall.... stairs/escalators up to concourse level... expanding the concourse to create an observation patio facing the University and med center... great spot now for meetings... or a cocktail hour after graduation... and of course, new bathrooms and it becomes a focal point for campus visits... so incoming students now think of athletics as being integral to the campus, as opposed to 'what they do across the lot'

I like the concept, but…
That’s where the “sub” is, on the concourse.
The entire space between the restroom pillars is walled in, with environmental controls.
No windows.
Currently storage, Rice EMS central on game days, RUPD bike storage, a (new) film room for prospies, the main network closet for the stadium complex, and KTRU’s transmitter.
Originally built to house the athletic department’s offices while Tudor/Youngkin was being built.

I absolutely defer to your knowledge here.

Ithink the idea of mirroring Lovett on that side... and otherwise including the stadium in other events is a huge opportunity. It might mean that we have to rethink/redesign all of that stuff.... maybe lifting some of it above the concourse... again, mirroring Lovett... which is multiple stories.

but if it doesn't work as I've described, then it doesn't work... I still like the concept of integration and cohesion, so if there is any way that can be done, that's what I'd like to see.

Chuck Pool says the sub was not purpose-built for athletics office space - it was already there.
I’d heard it had batting cages.
No corroboration.

I like the Lovett Hall mirror.
Put the exit thru the gift shop, like many museums and zoos do.
